Help! My Goat got into our barn!

[Goat Whisperer]

has she been vaccinated with CDT? i would be as worried about enterotoxaemia as i would about bloat. sounds like she and you got off lucky. so glad she is doing better.

I was going to mention that but then got busy....Glad you posted!

I would order the anti-toxin @Goatgirl47 Its great to have on hand and it can save your goat from an awful death.

@babsbag, you told me your experience with this, any advice? Where did you order it from?

I don't know if she's been vaccinated with CDT.

Today I put her in the goat stanchion and massaged her left side, and her belly made a gurgling sound. She still looks fine.

Glad she is doing okay.

Please read up on enterotoxaemia. I know a ND breeder that lost I believe it was 9 bucks last year. They only lost a few to bloat but the rest were from enterotoxaemia They were nice goats too, the one bucks litter mate sibling (buck) sold for just under $9,000 I believe (@ one of the ADGA sales).

I ordered the antitoxin from Santa Cruz Animal Health, it was hard to find that year. I will always have some on hand when I have kids on the ground.

If your doe is still eating and acting ok she is most likely going to be fine.

 

[Goatgirl47]

She is still acting normal.

@Goat Whisperer I will look it up as soon as possible, thanks!

Glad to hear she is feeling better!
