Kris it kinda reminds me of a milk goider. I know thats probably not the right word for it but thats what it reminds me of. Make sure she is not low on iodine. Sometimes they can develop a little goiter from being low on iodine. To tell if she needs it you can rub some under her tail and if it disappears pretty quickly she is low. You can buy iodine in powder form or give her some kelp. Kelp is the best way and its good for goats too. By the picture it doesn't quite look like bottle jaw. If your worried tho you can worm her.

Linda, I am giving Sandy kelp so shouldn't the kids be getting some if they're still nursing? And I did give her 3 days of wormers. It does look a bit smaller now. She seems healthy and happy. Maybe she does have that instead of bottle jaw. It just looked like it at first and I was a little worried about her. But she does look fine and is eating and nursing. Thanks for all your help, Linda! Hope all yours are doing well too.

No, they are not pale. They're pink enough for a month old kid. That's why I am not really sure. I guess I could take a fecal sample in to the vet. Just to make sure.
