I was reading and reading....until I find what matches the most with my goat symptoms:
Indigestion
It could be occur due to eating of azaleas, mangrove in flowers and fodder sprayed with insecticides. The indigestion result into loss of appetite, excrete flinty or small dropping, goat became lethargic. This need Epson salts like 120g, 80g, 60g and 30g on successive days. Heavy doze of magnesium carbonate 30g daily or Mylata 120g, three times a day used to neutralise excessive fermentation. New and fresh food should be given along with a mineral tonics like Ferri -Phos- Co (Parrishes food), and Metatone (Park Davis) 30ml twice a day to restore appetite. Clove tea (use 12 cloves in 500ml of water, boil for 10 times, when cool divide into three parts) use as 3 times a day help to restore appetite.
But....they don't say HOW to give this Epson Salt to a goat????
Mix with water/ milk? They won't drink willingly....
It started like this: one of my goats suddenly refused bottle.
Her hairs on a spine was (and still are) sort of "up"
Then I see diarrhea...greenish color.
Since I noticed this righaway, I treated and stopped the diarrhea within an hour.
Goat is still little lethargic and only nibling a small quantity of food.
Eyes nice and pink. No temperature.
I suspect she eat something....I was sprinkling pesticide around coops...I also cought her nibling on plastic bag, which I took away from her, but maybe she digested some of it....
The other (bigger) goat is thriving! She doesn't show any signs like the smaller one. Altough, she stopped jumping as usual and it's kind of quiet?! They not crying....which is strange, because previously they both were screaming for milk....
I did stopped milk. Instead I'm giving them "Life water" and yougurt.
Any help is appreciated!
Pictures how she looks just now I'm posting on the "Chickens" Forum under "Other Livestock". I just signed to this Forum and they won't let me post pictures yet.
I noticed her scratching her ears? I didn't see this ever before?
