Sick goat!!

I'm so sorry your goat is down.....hopefully one of the more knowledgeable members will be on here soon!

 

Take her temperature ASAP. Does she seem to be weak or just uncomfortable?

Does she look bloated? Offer her some baking soda or tums--if it does turn out to be bloat that will help...if not, it won't hurt her.

 

I meant to ask as well--does she seem to be off balance at all?

 

Hmm...That's not good...Have you managed to get a temp. yet??

 

That temp is very low--was that a rectal temp?? If so, you need to try to warm her up quickly. blankets, hair dryer, heat lamp...whatever you have. You can give her some warm black coffee and/or a shot of whisky if you have it.

 

Will your husband be home? I would put him on the forum if he will be home to tend to the goat. He should try getting ahold of a vet if he will be home.

 

Contact a vet asap--only a vet will be able to make a sure diagnosis. In the mean time, try to warm her up. I wouldn't feed her anything because with a temp that low her rumen is not functioning...

 

FRF....Thank you so much for trying to help with this goat...I just didn't know what to tell them, with her being preggers......I am praying for this doe!

 

I texted her

 

I will text you this also in case you are gone. You need to get some hot coffee, whiskey and karo syrup. Take 3 cc of each, mix well and give her 2cc right away.
Coffee needs to be warm and NOT decalf.

 

I texted her--goat is being taken to the vet. She will update later when they find out more.

 

good luck!! http://www.goatworld.com/articles/pregn ... emia.shtml

 

I text ed her also, I had not heard back, but I am very glad the goat is on the way to the vet.
