Thank you so much for your thoughts though. I've decided to go ahead and treat for meningeal worm with Panacur. I'm also trying to get some CMPK incase it is toxemia. Hopefully she doesn't go down

Yes only one side... she is lifting her feet on the other side just fine. I don't see any issues on her face; no droopy eyes or mouth. Legs are not stiff although if I bend them they sometimes make a sound like cracking knuckles. Joints are not visibly swollen or hot to the touch. Last I...

Update: She got back up, with difficulty but by herself when I went down again. I took her outside and she walked very slowly. She is not lifting either foot on her right side off the ground properly, which is why she is stumbling. Her left side is unaffected. I've given her some molasses water...

So I need some thoughts as I can't figure out what is wrong with my goat. She is pregnant and due Feb 20th. She looks big, bigger than last year when she gave birth to two kids, and I wouldn't be surprised if she had triplets. About a week ago, I noticed that she was dragging/had a stiff back...

We have Nubians @Jesusfreak101

Could you elaborate on this? What is a kid goat supplement? We feed everyone alfalfa and all the kids get a handful of grain. They are outside all day as well. They are dam raised and still nursing. Never felt the need to supplement anything, but it's our first time raising kids so I don't want...

Ok so he is doing much better; back to normal. I was so scared for him because he seemed so down; we've had sick goats but never had them go off feed before. I think what helped him was the MoM; in the morning I saw diarrhea in his stall; it went back to normal by the end of the day. He seems...

Ok it I'll try to answer all the questions and I appreciate them He wants to nurse and goes to the teat, but does not nurse. No curling of neck, stretches both legs at once. I don't see anything visibly different. Sides do not feel tight to me, I saw him chewing cud in the afternoon; when the...

What makes you say that? He is peeing (not as much as before because he is not drinking anything). He is 2 months old And if it were, how would I know/treat it?

He wants to nurse and runs to mother but he does not drink anything. Should I try to get some milk into his system or would I try to clear his system out with something like MoM?

What could be the cause of repeated stretching of hind legs in a buckling. He is acting off and standing in a corner. No fever. I posted to the emergency thread as well with a few more details as I am very worried about him.

So I have a 2 month old buckling and today he is being completely standoffish in a corner of the barn. Repeatedly stretching his hind legs. Yesterday night he kept tying to get to the grain his mother was eating so we had to restrain him by holding his neck/head and I'm not sure if that could be...

Yup she got a penicillin shot tonight. She wasn't getting worse but also not getting better, and the weather is not on my side. High temp and humidity. Hopefully the course of penicillin will do its job, if not probably will go for the Draxxin from the vet. I'm very grateful that her kids are...

So tonight her temperature is up to 104.4, but she is acting much better. We did have a much warmer day today than yesterday though (by 10 degrees) so I'm chalking it up to that. She looks brighter, not being as stand-offish, and her breathing seems a little slower. I listened to her breathing...

Was she acting odd, other than the snot? Glad you were able to see a good vet.

Hey you live close to me! The temperatures have just been so hot; we had a doe with a 106. It's just so hot and humid. Just seeing them with all that fur makes me hot. Plus we've been having some crazy temp swings which I'm sure can't be good for them

Ok, so tonight her temp is down to 103.9 which is great. Lets her kids drink, overall looking brighter and more alert. We decided not to give the penicillin tonight. It is kept refrigerated and I have at least 50 ml in it which should be enough to give her a full course. It hasn't passed its...

So update her temperature is lowering. I have penicillin on hand in case we need to give it, but I'm debating whether I want to give it tonight or wait until morning. She's still eating, drinking, chewing cud, etc. Kids are nursing and I don't feel any lumps in the udder anymore. But you can...

Today morning temp is 104.8. still shallow breathing. She won't let me milk her but she let her kids drink like usual. Going to get some meds from the vet; just confused now on whether I'm dealing with pneumonia or mastitis
