Dumpy doe

I'm sorry to hear you week was bad but if it helps mines not going much better

 

I don't think I can help here.

I think goats are here JUST to make us worry! :roll:

 

Iwish I could help.

 

I wish I could help too but I can't. Good luck

 

I would start her on some Albon just to be safe.

 

this is so scary and sad.....i am hoping for a quick recovery for her. maybe the vet asap is a good idea as you have tried about everything there is to try. he could do blood work etc and maybe come up with something. my very best to you both.

 

Well, if it was me I would either take a fecal sample to the vet and let them tell you if you have Cocci going on, see if I could take her in. It is So important for everyone to have thermometer around. If a goat is off, the first thing that needs to be done it the temp. I have like 5 or 6. Please get one and take her temp. Even if anyone calls a vet for help, the first thing they are going to ask is "what is her temp?"
I am sorry, I am NOT trying to sound like I am scolding you, I just want anyone else that is reading this know how important it is tho have a thermometer, and several if needed.
It does sound like it could be cocci. Now I do not care what some people day, any goat can get cocci, it is NOT just for the babies. I had one with it and he was SO bad, that the Vet said to use the Chorid, and they also gave us some other meds to use with it. We had to give it orally 2Xday, it was a really thick blue stuff. Now some say NEVER use CHORID. I have ALWAYS used Chorid and I have yet to lose a goat.
Good luck and keep us posted.

 

i guess i'd 'vote' for getting to the vet. cocci does not always show up in the fecal alone.

 

Cocci, always shows in the fecal. Matter of fact I believe that is the ONLY way they can be 100% sure. I helped a friend take her goats in and they tried to get a fecal sample to do a test, and the vet said they HAD to get some fecal to test it, and she was so dry that they had no real way to test her.but her son came with us and he was tested "fecal" and he was tested positive, so they new that was the problem. (they new that anyway, but they wanted to make sure). But I would also take her to the vet, because if they are bad enough, they might have to do a IV to rehydrate her. Is she drinking? Good Luck

 

perhap it is just different with dogs, then, for in dogs it does not always show up in a fecal. i am sure finding it there CONFIRMS a diagnosis; i am just not sure that if it is not there that that for sure means no cocci. :?

 

If he doesn't let you take her, look at her eyelids, not just the gums. Get her in your house, yes in the house, and get towels and a heating pad on her. Get much more red cell down her. 2cc is nothing for an adult. Get at least 15 in the first dose. What wormer did you use before the Sulmet? How much did you give? How much does she weigh? You have to get a temp at this point. Her organs could be shutting down. Was she out in bad weather? With no scours, it could be barber poles. What has your weather been like?

 

OH dear, if her mouth is cold you have to warm her up FAST. If she is that cold, she is shutting down. She HAS to go to the Vet in order to save her at this point. Take some old towels, put them in the dryer, get the good and hot, and wrap them around her. Rub her all over to get that blood flowing. Will she drink some warm molasses water? Give her some Nutra Drench.

 

I would rub her really well. Keep her warm like you are. Bo you have Nutra Drench? Give that to her. Keep offering her warm water. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE on her
