You done the right thing by putting her in quarantine, so good job "rescuing" her and keeping your other critters safe as well. Got any pictures of her yet?

That may be the issue. She was the only one I didn't check to make sure she had milk available from both teats. :/ That will be on my to-do list first thing in the morning. The other buckling is nursing both sides. He'll nurse one teat, then go to the other, then back again. He may be getting...

I have him propped up on a pillow already because I just don't like to see any goat (kid or adult) laid out flat on their side. I knew that couldn't be good for a rumen, so I had already done that. Yay me for doing something right. :rolleyes: I'm probably going to have to pull him from mama...

Yay for babies! :weee

He is swallowing, so I gave it to him with a drench gun. He sitting up now at least. Before when I put him down, he would lay flat out. Hopefully a treatment of baking soda and nutridench will do the trick. Thanks for the help everybody. Hopefully he'll pull out of this. Good thing I caught...

He has some Baking Soda in him now. When I gave it to him, I could hear his stomach rumbling. Could this be FKS? :he

Ok, here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnEgGelZqgM

I'll try the nutridench and baking soda. It may not have been the best thing, but I just gave him oxytetracycline just in case it is an infection. It's hard to describe what he's like because his symptoms are so vague sounding when just typed. I think I'll take a short video.

An hour ago. He doesn't have a fever. I'm totally at a loss at what this could be. He just peed as I was making him stand up and check him over again, so he's not dehydrated. These goats are going to be the death of me.

No coughing and I can't hear any type of congestion in his chest. Heart beat seems regular.

The buckling I had to pull from Echo on Wednesday night is having labored breathing. He is alert, but not active and will not nurse. When in the standing position, his sides are sucked in (around his belly) and his rib cage is poked out. I gave him Vit B complex and Vit E in some milk about a...

That's actually really close! They are Hardhead and Butthead. :D

I love the kids looking up at you in the first stall. :love Adorable!

Some quick pictures I took this morning Buckling that was head back: Buckling that was butt first: All three (mama + kids) are doing wonderful. Echo is sore, but eating and drinking just fine this morning. The kids are also nursing on their own. The first kid I had to pull I was afraid he...

Echo kidded tonight around 7:00 pm. I had to go in to help her, so I guess tonight was a good night for me to skip my Chemistry class. :rolleyes: Background Info: Hubby was coming home from work, which is an hour away. Grandpa (who has helped pulled calves) was walking out the door to preach...

I know she is feeling desperate for information and help right now, but this is one of the reasons why you should do research before buying.

Is it true that is a doe goes over her due date it is most likely a doeling or doelings? I think I had heard that somewhere but I haven't really paid attention to see if it is really true.
