Is the swollen area watery feeling..is he acting distressed in pain ? Could be a hernia?? or water belly...I have never seen water belly that large..

He isn't acting weird no temp peeing normal it has been there for couple weeks doesn't hurt him to touch we are leaning toward hurnia it's not really hard but not watery

Looks like one for the vet if your friend can bring him to your vet.

That is very strange, and I agree a vet. Could be infection, hernia ... I really have no idea. Glad he's peeing well, though, eek!

 

[goatgirl16]

Yeah I am hoping she will get vet out I did talk to vet he think hernia

 

[sweetgoats]

Yep. I am thinking a hernia. Needs to be checked out.

 

[happybleats]

SOOOOO glad he is well other wise..peeing good and all....keep us posted

You can feel if its a hernia. If its on the inside pushing the skin out like that then not a hernia. If its all soft and squishy, then its most likely a hernia. If it is a hernia its the biggest one I have ever seen. They only get worse with time. That is alot of gut to put back in if it is a hernia.

It's a hernia it wasnt a vet I know that looked at the little guy I am going to try to get him in with my vet see what he says any one deal with hernia before? If so how do goats fair after a surgery like that?
