So, I have three bucks in a pen, one of which started walking with a strange staggering gait. I gave them selenium and vitamin E gel within half a week prior to him starting to look off. I believe it was on Sunday March 27 that he started staggering. I did also give him copper boluses (along...

Greetings! I am new to the forum and hoping for some guidance on my situation. Question: has anyone had a goat successfully recover from listeriosis, and what can I expect in the recovery period? Elaboration: I have a one month old nigerian dwarf that I believe has listeriosis. Thursday morning...
