Get thiamine in her asap. Any other neurological symptoms? Eyes twitching? Drooling? Turning circles?

 

[happybleats]

They want to get 500mg thiamine in her every 4 to 6 hours..in case it's polio.

If you suspect listeriosis..they need to wear gloves when working with her. Listeriosis can be zoonotic.

Start on penicillin at 1 cc per 10 pounds sub q every 6 hours.
Dexamethsone or banamine once a day for brain swelling.

Do ask what they are feeding. How long have they had her? Ask them to check feed (make sure it is off the ground), and hay for mold. If they are new to goats they may not be feeding cleanly and could have other problems with more goats. Also, it's really best to get a vet's opinion if they can. These things can go south quickly, and they may blame you for selling them a sick goat.

i have noticed in the videos that she has drool going down her chin

 

[happybleats]

I would do both the thiamine and Penicillin as well as Dex or Banamine. Again..listerisos can spread to humans. Have the take precautions

 

[Noisy Bottle Babies]

They say she is looking better after the first dosage

Be sure they keep on the schedule! Tell them not to skip overnight injections and keep hay and warm water right near her.

Yep told them that and to also keep her hydrated as she had runny poops yesterday also

 

[GoofyGoat]

A drench of room temp flat dark beer too. That low a temp could mean rumen is shutting down. Plus it will relax her so she can be treated easier.

 

[Noisy Bottle Babies]

Thank you everyone she’s hanging on but isn’t drinking so they are currently syringing liquids into her

 

[Noisy Bottle Babies]

Thank you everyone again for the advice she sadly had to be put down today

I'm so very sorry.

 

[Tanya]

I am so sorry you had to make that decision. She is not struggling any more and you are a responsible owner

 

[Noisy Bottle Babies]

i bang my head because I had sold her a few months ago and the people that owned her didn’t know how to help and were newbies to goats, she had listeria and had drastically decreased that day so they unfortunately had to make that choice and now we look back on a video she was pregnant with kid evidently kicking

@Noisy Bottle Babies nature has ways that we dont always understand. There are reasons for things happening the way they do. If it wasnt this it could have been something else.

 

[happybleats]

Oh no. Im sorry. Listerisos is a terrible disease.
