Uch, it was 4 days ago and I didn't know. Thank you so much for your response. I palpated her spine but couldn't feel the displacement. She curled up and I don't want to move her too much. She didn't respond much when I poked around her legs but she snuggled up next to me. The donkey is a full-size female and I only got part of the story. It's late here in this part of the world and I couldn't get more information. I've been taking care of a puppy who had his leg injured and has also some kind of neurological damage and can't walk. The actual dog vet suggested doing massaging his whole leg and hydrotherapy so I headed to the water. I was hoping to also do something with the goat but she's pretty limp. It's awful. I'd love it to be a pinched nerve but I imagine she would be responding already. She got one shot. I'll check everything again in the morning. It's hard living on a farm!At work on a lunch break so a short response for now. Can you palpate down the goats spine to see if any displacement of the vertebra have occurred? If pinched nerves then they can sometimes regain some use after the inflammation goes down. Yes pinching the lower parts of legs near the hooves can help you figure out if they have any sensation in the hind end or if the nerve damage is severe. How long ago was it kicked? How big was the donkey? Ok I will check back after work. I understand you can't afford an xray but an xray would answer a lot of questions. When we cannot do that we need to try to assess the situation the best we can. Document pee and poo movements as well.
Oh my. With it being 4 days if the goat has been receiving anti-inflammatory meds and not having any response in the hind end to pressure being placed on the hind legs there is a very good chance that he full sized donkey could of severed the spinal cord at some point in the spine.Uch, it was 4 days ago and I didn't know.

. She is pooping and I'll check with the family if she is still getting any medication. She was such a weak little trooper with a big personality when she was born small and she made it. Turns out the donkey went a little crazy with her. It's awful. Thank you all for your responses. It's awkward because she's not mine and I'm navigating another culture here.
