Goat with teeth knocked out?

[Robyn8]

Well we’re waiting on xrays but the vet said the white thing I saw is bone. His wire shifted and didn’t hold all the pieces together so some pieces died and are making their way out. However it seems to have healed enough to be functional. They said he seems happy enough and since he can eat they don’t feel I need to put him down at this time. And I should just keep an eye on him in the future and put him down later if it seems to break down further or bother him to the point he seems in pain again. So now I just have to get him off the grain and on something hay like.

Xrays showed some bone missing in the front of his jaw and he may lose the rest of his front teeth but the back looks really good and his tongue looks good. Vet says I can continue to offer small pieces of hay but his tongue and lips work good so he should be able to eat regular hay just fine. Guess I need to get tough on him with the grain. Thanks again to all your guys support! Looks like my little guy is pulling through for me.

That's great news!

Still at vet. The sedation they gave him makes him hungry so they brought me some hay to see if he’ll eat it. And he did. So guess I’ve just been spoiling him too much lol.

So happy he’s doing better. Amazing how quick they can get picky with things like food changes. Little stinkers. Hope he continues to flourish.

GREAT NEWS!!

Some anxiety &/or sedation meds DO create the "munchies" . I have noticed that Red Cell liquid seems to enhance the desire to eat. Plus it has some vit/min, so a good thing in small dose … good hay might be eaten then. He's young, they heal faster.

Now he’s out in the pasture eating hay and leaves like no big deal lol. I do wonder if having the dead bone fragment and wire out feels better too. I’m sure the bone fragment sticking out of his gum didn’t feel good.

Had that happen years ago when I had my wisdom teeth pulled...I sure felt better when the bone fragments were out so happy to hear he is doing well. His mouth may never be as it once was, but the kid sure has done well and appears to be adapting
