HELP GAGGING MALE GOAT!! **SAD UPDATE**

[WhiteWaterFarms]

Our male goat is sick, He's gagging bad and has a prolapsed rectum, we tried sugar but he gags and makes it worser!! Is there anything we can do to get him to stop gagging? We called our vet but he's down with a broken foot. We're waiting for a call from another vet, but i don't hold hope for her....
Is there anything we can do to ease to pain and calm him down until we get someone out here?

prolapsed rectum sticking

some say banimine for pain, they should be chiming in hear soon good luck with your goat,

My goat mentor seconds banamine. They give it to their lambs when they choke.

Will banamine stop the gagging and pain? or just pain?
Is it injected or oral?
Can i get it at Tractor Supply?

It is a muscle relaxant and will dope him up a bit. It's injected. Does he have frothy foamy stuff coming out of his mouth? (those are fun choking session when it happens). It is from the vet. Or if you have any friends w/ horses many of them should have it on hand.

I only have one, i texted her....Is there anything we could get at the tractor supply? i gave him a baby aspirin....

No he's gagging like he's trying to vomit, but he's been locked up in a room for two days cause of weather...so i don't think he got poisoned.

He may be having cud issues. How often is he doing the gagging thing?

 

[WhiteWaterFarms]

It comes and goes in spells, when he has the spells it's one or two minutes...in between spells 5 or 10 minutes.

Does it sound like a wet retching noise (think when a person dry heaves) or does it sound like a drier cough?
