I'm at a loss. Goat is still sick.

Honestly I don't know but everything I read it always mentions does...

This is another cause of eye issues and arched back etc... however it is generally a respiratory issue.

Thank you! She has the eye issues, but no coughing, respitory issues, arched back, etc.

I was reading more about how Chlamydiosis is spread by wild birds. We have TONS of birds up here, and they go in the chicken shelter to get leftover chicken feed where the goats hang out. (We have a large shelter that we converted into a chicken coop so it's not like a normal small chicken coop) The poop is everywhere. I'm going to try to keep the goats in their own shelter, instead of in the chickens....just to prevent future infections.

It looks like it might be something I can vaccinate against too?

I've not ever had to deal with chlamydia so I'm unfamiliar with the symptoms and treatment, but is it possible just to get a medicated eye drop so that the antibiotics won't affect rumen activity?

I'm also doing medicated ointments for her eyes. I'll be dropping by the vet clinic later today to pick up a few bags for fluid infused with Vitamin B complex. I've been doing subq fluids with her for 4 days now, since she can't see to find her water and was dehydrated. Hopefully, this and the probiotics will get her rumen going! Poor girl!!!

Thanks for all your help and suggestions everyone! I'll keep you posted!
