Hi
Don't know how she get this wound but today we were cutting her bad hairs and noticed this.

I'd put some iodine on it

That looks like a bite. Could she have been attacked by a dog? Keep a close eye on your goat pens. Looks like there's a predator hanging around.

I agree.

Clean it real well and put iodine on it.
Look for any other wounds or punctures.

Called vet
He said that the bees eggs has hatched here and some worms have gone inside this hole. He puts some medicine inside and told me to check tomorrow as there will be a lot of worms outside so I have to clean the place and spray some antioxidant (herbal)

We only have cats here and they don't have courage to even come closer to the doe

It is called ticks I think

Oh, that sounds like bot flies. They look similar to bumble bees and their larva gets planted under the host's skin. When the larva hatch, they leave holes that look like puncture wounds from a bite. Yuck! I have no advice since I have never personally dealt with bot flies before. Hopefully the medicine your vet gave you will fix the problem!

I have a question @Hasankhurshid29 @Aasiya @toth boer goats @Damfino , Since this goat is not vaccinated against tetanus, can tetanus enter through a wound like this on the tail? Would it be wise to give the tetanus antitoxin to her?

 

[Damfino]

I have no idea, but it's a good question. I suspect that any puncture-type wound could be an entry point for tetanus bacteria. If the goat is not vaccinated, tetanus anti-toxin is not a bad idea.

 

[toth boer goats]

With any wound, it can happen basically.

If it was me, I'd certainly give the antitoxin.... anything more than a scratch feels risky to me
