Do not try to force him to drink anything. That can do more harm then good.

If you can get his body temp higher of until he gets some reflex back then you can try a few things.

If he doesn't make it thru this, please send him out for a necropsy. You just sold his twin and dam, you need to figure out what this is because whoever you sold your goats to is at risk as well.

Really hoping your little guy can pull thru :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs:hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs

Planned on sending him for a necropsy. I should clarify he came from a friend, so, she's been informed as well. The other two seem just fine. They've been warned. Just took a fecal to the vets office outside of town on both boys. I spoke hear back soon. Not my regular vet and he had a full waiting room so I just dropped it off. Labeled them goat one (sick) and goat two so he knows.

It's going to be a lonely few days for the tri colored male. Quarantine and isolation. The little black buck isnt improving yet. Giving him a chance.

The little buck just died. Taking him for necropsy tomorrow. The other buckling still looks fine and is calling for a friend. Poor guy. I ordered anyway, just to cover basis.
