I ve got a problem with our 10 week old cashmere doe. She is bottle raised and accepted the dog as her mother. I have now managed to separate them during the day, and she is out the back with an other goat, who she doesn't want to associate with. At night time she sleeps in the laundry with the dog. This is the problem. If I leave her out at night with the other goat, she will scream out all night, she has got shelter, but just refuses to shut up, and remains persistant until she gets to the laundry with the dog. Iam in the position where I cannot let her scream because I do have neighbours on either side. During the day she is fine. It is night time. She throws herself in a panic, gets her self stuck in the fencing. Any suggestions how to tackle this? If i leave the dog out, then she'll bark to get back in.
