My oldest daughter didn't use the wooden block correctly that we have for keeping the chicken door big enough for the 9 week old pullets to get in but keeps the goats out. Our goats 5-6 months old (3 Nigerian dwarf) wethers. I had filled the feeder with a large coffee can last night and this morning when I went to check on everyone the feeder was knocked down and most of the grain gone. That's when I noticed the door was open wider than usual and the goats had been in. It was about 2 hrs from the time she let them out to the time I noticed. Everyone seems ok so far. I put out fresh baking soda and then have fresh water. I have bloat-PAC, kaopectate and CD antitoxin on hand if needed. Do I give anything now or wait until they show signs of bloating? They will be having hay only for the rest of the day but did get their morning grain in addition to the purine start & grow medicated starter. Other than bloat what should I look for?
Thanks!
A worried mama,
