Has anyone heard of Shipping cough in goats? What do you do to treat it? My sweet boy has a funky mucusy sound when he coughs with a runny nose. He had a 10 hour car ride with 5 other goats.
Poor boy!😢

First get a temp.

Sounds like shipping fever.
Start antibiotics right away.

What antibiotics do you have access to?

 

[J Angel Acres]

Temp is 101.9. Penicillin or LA200
I will be ordering Bovi-Sera but won’t get it until the 24th.😕

1cc per 20lbs twice a day for penicillin.

1cc per 20lbs twice a day for penicillin.

Even though there is no fever?

 

[ksalvagno]

Sometimes it is warranted. The other symptoms and the fact that travel was involved warrants it

Yep I agree ☝
