Thanks everyone! Our gate was accidentally left open and she got out of our fence. The dogs belong next door. The dogs are actually not bad dogs, but they are territorial, and she was on their turf. She wandered into their yard. It was only one that attacked her, the other was a bystander...

Good news! Molly is looking like a champ today. The swelling under her jaw has dissipated considerably. I did go ahead and get some red cell and gave that to her, and will probably keep that up for a few days to help counteract her blood loss. (thanks for the pointer, Rolls). Also, her wounds...

Thank you Sheepgirl. Guess I will pick that up tomorrow too. Roll- just read about the red cell and bottlejaw. Dosage says 15cc's orally. Is this what you would give a 27 pound goat? Also, I'm thinking a b12 shot might not hurt either. I'm debating on worming her also- but I dont want to...

Roll- I will definetly check the eyelids. I didn't even think of that! If it means anything- the swelling is only unilateral under one side. But id be willing to bet she probably is anemic because she lost alot of blood. I'm pretty sure I saw a bottle of red cell at the farm supply. What exactly...

I ended up NOT giving her banamine today. I'm still doing penicillin. The area under her jaw feels like fluid to me. I've moved her hay bag and feed trough up to a higher level where she has to keep her head up to eat. I have a goat house on a platform with a ramp that she has to climb to get...

Molly has alot of swelling underneath her jaw this morning. I don't know if she is developing an abscess or if it's because she hangs her head down most if the time and this is where all the swelling has accumulated due to gravity. There are no wounds in this area. Her dressing stops just below...

Poo! Id buy her from you in a second but I'm in Georgia! Shes beautiful!

What state?

Where are you located?

Redtailgal- after I got home from work and redressed the wounds, the deep one is looking alot better than I thought. Yesterday she was so swollen, it really made it look catastrophic. It is still open on both ends and when I flushed it with saline and betadine the solution is going clean...

Also- if I use the banamine sparingly, can I administer over a longer period? This morning she seems to be pretty comfortable so I may wait to give it to her because I have heard the third day is the worst, pain wise and I want to be able to give her something if I need to. Or perhaps, is there...

Elevan- on the Banamine- how often can she have this? Is this every 12 hours?

I have a 6 month old Nigerian dwarf doeling that was attacked by dogs today. Luckily my kids were home at the time, and were able to get her away from the dogs. She recieved severe trauma to her neck with deep puncture wounds. She went into shock and pooped and peed on herself and went limp. I...

I don't have a blind goat, but i do have a blind dog. She lost her sight last year due to a sudden onset of glaucoma and we actually had to have her eyes removed because it was very painful. It took her awhile to adjust but now, a year later, she is getting along beautifully. She can find me...

Wow! She looks much better! What a difference! Great job!

Sorry haven't posted pics yet, I've been goat watching all day. I have a couple of questions. How long does her backend stay goopy? She had the twins one after another around 11:30am today. An hour later she passed both full placentas. I expected her to continue to have a discharge And I've...

We have babies! A boy and a girl! Will post pics later! Woohoo!

And how long normally will this take if she's got the goopies? She's a FF. So nervous I think I'm going to have diarrhea! OMG!! please pray everything goes smoothly!

Yesterday she boomed and I went out to check this morning and she has a big goopy nasty thick mucous thing hanging out of her hoohoo! Tail crooked and hollering. She was contracting a little yesterday- maybe the prebaby jitters but today looks like the real deal! She's 146 days gestation. Is...

She was bred on November 2. We dont have a billy. We borrowed the neighbors billy and did a drive-by. I went out to take pics and of course the goop was gone. She doesnt seem nearly as big today??? Im thinking she probably just has one kid, although twins would be great! I am thinking I am...
