Senior goat has fever and cough

Ok good, anyway once he tasted the peanut butter/garlic mix he decided that vitamin c was not good any more lol.

So I should stop giving 4 cloves a day and go to one?

 

We got baermann tests done on 3 of the other goats, 2 of which had a FEW lungworm noted on their fecal a year ago.
Got results and all 3 have high levels of both species of lungworm. One was almost as high as George's was and the other 2 were lower.
We gave all three ivermectin today.

 

Yes lol we are in south GA
We just fenced off the pond this year so they can't get to it and added another large pasture.

 

Update on George, today he frolicked for the first time since last winter

 

Nope. Weeks ago I heard one of them cough several times but that could have been caused by many things....now I don't know what to think! George didn't cough much either and when he did it was a dry cough. He had a couple of coughing fits and that was what made us take his temp. But his coughing could have been from the pneumonia, which we think was secondary to the lungworm infestation. Hopefully he doesn't have any lung damage. Needless to say we are going to get everybody else tested.
