This morning when I put Kit on the stand I noticed that her udder was not full. Last night I milk her full udder and she gave 1.5 quarts. This morning I milked about .75 quarts and she did not eat all her grain. When I put her back in the stall she did not look right. After milking I went back to the barn and took her temp. It was 105, so I her some warm water with salt, baking soda, and corn syrup. I gave her probiotics and some fresh carrots and celery. She ate well. I got a stool sample which I will run shortly. I am confused. What should I look for and what steps should I take?
Help! Sick goat Temp 105.0

A high temp indicates an infection, she should be started on antibiotics right away. If you're taking a fecal to the vet, then ask for some antibiotics from them as well.

Your vet will decide what to give you.
If you cannot get antibiotics from the vet then get some Penicillin or LA200 from the feedstore.

Had the vet out. He gave her 8cc of Penicillin. He said it is not respiratory or mastitis, but no sure of the type of infection. I am to give 8cc pen tomorrow morning. I am trying to get her to eat and drink. I will keep her on the probiotics. Any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks
