Cough that won't go away

[rochelle~loves~goats]

I have another question please...my male Nigerian has a runny nose, nothing else wrong that I can see. But I can tell in his eyes he's not feeling good...his snot is like a clear whitish color if that makes sense, he's pure black so that color makes sense to me...he has his appetite, everything good there....I'm concerned about his runny nose...

I would check both of them and see if there is a fever presenting.

Now this is just what I would do. If they have a fever I would treat with Duramycin, if no fever I would probably treat the male anyways if you think he doesn't look that great. I would wait on the doeling and see if it is indeed getting better.

Have you checked the new one for worms since bringing her home? The stress of a move and cause a parasite bloom.

No I haven't checked her for worms. I've gotta check all of them for worms & they need all their shots since I don't know what the previous owners did. Since I don't know what was done could you please tell me what shots are needed? I have a bottle of Clostridium Perfringens Types C & D Tentanus Toxoid CD/T, what other do I need cuz I'd like to give at the same time.

They only need the CDT. I vaccinate for pneumonia too but certainly not required and most people don't do it.

Be sure to double check on the bottle though, I've seen some CDT vaccines where you need to give 3cc per dose. Generally its 2cc, but not always.
