Something stuck in her throat ???

I didn't find anything you said rude. I was looking up constipation here last week and couldn't find anything, so thank you for clarifying that for me. And actually all my goats were safe guarded in April and again in May just be for I picked them up. For some reason I thought they were do because my vet 1 mo. ago asked if I had stuff for worming and what, I told her Safe Guard for goats, because that's what the breeder used. I had to leave a message, and the vet hasn't called back. I'll feel like the fool if I'm over reacting. When and if I can find a microscope I would like to learn to do my own tests. I was watching her and once she did the cough thing and then she looked as if she was chewing something. Still want to talk to the vet.

Have fecals done, safe guard doesn't work against several species of parasites.

Ya... to be safe that's what I want to do. I love my little rascals and I'm not willing to take any chances. Thank you all. AS soon as I know what is going on I'll up date.

SafeGuard...safe for the goat...safe for the worm I agree with the fecal, but some goats just cough; they have very sensitive respiratory systems and dusty hay can send some into coughing fits that make you think they are dying.

Most of my goats have never had anything stronger than safeguard.

You're very lucky then. Around here cydectin and valbazen are about the only things that still do anything.

Time sure dose fly.... Nothing in fecal test, just one of those things that make some one like my self over react and look like a fool....

Like babsbag said earlier , some goats are just coughers. When we first got our goats we had one Katie that coughed a lot. My wife was worried and got the vet to check her out. Nothing wrong with her. Vet said some can be sensitive to the dust in the hay they eat. Katie coughed until she kidded, then hardly ever coughed any more.

But, her kids were coughers. Didn't bother calling the vet this time.

Thanks !! She hardly dose it any more, still I'm glad to do right by her, it's been educational .
