What sort of illness might the squeaky voice indicate, 20kids?

I have an adult doe that sounds like that all the time. I own her paternal half brother and his voice is the same if he attempts to exceed a certain volume level- it sorta cracks then squeaks. At lower volume levels they both sound normal.
I get what you are saying, and I knew atleast one person would say it was no big deal. The temp of 103.6 may be concerning if it is accurate and not from the heat of the day, ect.. ect.....

I would give them another day or two as long as they are otherwise acting normal. But retake their temp in the early morning when they haven't been out in the sun.
:lol:
No, I was really asking! I thought you might have something particular in mind. Really. I mentioned my two because it can be normal, not that it is normal in her case. We need a "this is really a question, not being snarky" emoticon... :p

I was really going off the elevated temp. more than anything. not so much the hoarse voice.

I had a long day today, sorry that I took it more snarky than a real question.

considering the stress they have been under I would be considering my antibiotic options and either know where I can get some at the last minute or get a small bottle and keep on hand.

I am not a big fan of giving an La-200 (oxy-tetracyclene) to a young growing kid, but I know people do use it and it would clear them up if that is what you have available.

Update: Voice is back, temps are down, and the weather is much much cooler. Guess they were just hot :)
