Goat with weak back legs in pain

You can get b complex otc at most farm stores.
You inject into the muscle. I think the dose is 5ml. Since this is a water soluble vitamin you can't go wrong with it.
My understanding is that is also soothes the stomach a bit and gets the appetite going.

I am going to try to get injectable B1 today. We couldn't last night because all farm stores were closed already. If all I can get is the b complex, is it better to give that or continue giving the oral B1?

The best is to get the Thiamine from your vet. The injectable B is ok but try to get to the vet. When we had a goat go down with Listeria we gave the the B complex and the oral drench til we got the thiamine from the vet. Yes we did the thiamine like with polio.
Keep him upright propped by a hay bale beside him. Try not to let him lay down on his side.
