I had a snotty goat... never did stop from the time we got him until processed, he was fine except that.
I think Walter is sick **update**

White color mucous sounds like allergies.

He was on another round of antibiotic since the vet still feel it is in his lung. We did but the snorting didn't stop but his breathing seemed better. I have just started him with benedryl. I hope that will help. If he continues, I'll just have to accept that he is a noisy guy and do have some allergy since he didn't used to snort when we first got him. Thanks for checking.

Well, I think Walter is all better but he may have allergy.
After two rounds of antibiotic and 5 days of benedryl, I can tell the difference breathing sound from the time we first took him to the vet, after the antibiotic and benedryl. I think he is allergic to something up here and the allergy has worsen and went into his lung. His lung sounds clear now and his snorting is a lot quieter. He sneezes here and there sometimes with white or clear snot. I think his brother, Jac also has some allergy. Jac gets watery eyes whenever the wind picks up here. He also sneezes here and there but dry. Overall, they are happy and playful. They eat well too.
I want to Thank All of you for helping me though this. I think overall goats are pretty hardy but I just wasn't sure since they are our first goats. I am usually the one to wait a little before taking the dog to the vet because I know the sign to watch for.... Anyway, I think I hear them calling now. Got to go feed them Thanks again!
