Sorry to hear this. What was his temp? Have you called/talked to your vet- given what you are describing he could possibly have/developing pneumonia.

Thanks its like 103 this morning when i checked and just talked to vet and had to get some daxxin for the little one thanks

Glad you got him to the vet.

My first thought was also pneumonia.

Keep him warm and draft free while he recovers. He may need more than one shot, so keep an eye on him.

good on the vet call baby goats with a 103 is a fever

Glad to hear that you were able to talk with your vet and get treatment started for him. Hope he starts getting better.

101 - 102.9 In an adult, on a warm day, I could accept 103 but if they acted off in any other way I was suspect a temp.
