She is a yearling, probably year and a half (best guess without looking at her papers). She is on the smaller side because she had kids young. Both kids have died, one even had a blood transfusion for the anemia, but still died. She has been in this condition over a month.
She would score a 1 on FAMANCHA. Actually whiter than the card at one. She has a body condition score of 2 on bad days and 3 on good days on 10 point scale.
Treated for worms and Coccidia. Last fecal said no evidence of parasites or Coccidia.
We discussed johnes, but decided to give her another week on red cell, b complex, and probiotics first before testing because the likelihood is low. She is not ever kept near our cows and has never been in a pasture that they have ever been in.
On Saturday the diarrhea got much worse. Of course, when I called the vet, he is it of town all week. Only gone when he is needed. My luck. Another vet at the clinic is supposed to call me, but I have little confidence in the other vets, except his wife which I am sure is with him.
She does have free choice goat mineral, which I do see her eat. Our area is more deficient in selenium, copper and zinc. This mineral provides these at the level needed here.
She has free choice hay, browse, and pasture. She does eat some of all, but not as much as I would like. She has no access to toxic plants. Would be odd for her to eat something toxic since she has so many options anyway.
Thanks for any help.
