These are not my goats, I'm posting for a friend. She has 11 market goats that she purchased in the past 4 weeks, all are Feb babies. I helped her pick them out and when we got them they were all healthy and so were the rest of the animals on the farms she purchased from. In the past week they have started limping, coughing, getting runny noses, and we even have a case of sore mouth!
We clipped feet and treated for scald on the ones that needed it and gave shots for the runny nose. I looked their papers and 7 of them were only wormed once when they were a little over 2 weeks:/ so we are re-worming those guys tomorrow. Is there anything we can do to treat the goat with sore mouth? We sprayed the sores with blu cote but I don't know what else we could do?
Today I stopped by again and there was one goat with an extremely swollen mouth, no sores, just puffy. There is a bees nest in their shelter that we are hopefully getting rid of tonight. And both times we have rounded up the goats they have been attacked by bees. Is this sore mouth or just a bad reaction to bee stings?
