Oh, well, I see I came in in the middle of the discussion. I agree with Diamond H..
that's the one I bought my vet charges me 10 per goat so not bad
I felt bad for him that's y I bought him he's in rough shape but doing better since I got him I bought the 2 goats she had to give them a better life I now have 4 rescuse goats all together
Well, at 9 he is already pretty well aged, isn't he? His back feet look weird, too. I would have a vet take a look at him if you are concerned or have other goats.....he could have something like CAE.
Someone is wanting to give me this 9 year old goat practically for free because the goat gets picked on now. We got this picture and I'm not sure about the goat's hocks. What's going to be the impact of these funky hocks as the goat ages? Thanks!
If he's had it for a few weeks, I would be less inclined to think pneumonia. Has he progressively gotten worse or stayed about the same. What's his temp? What are his living arrangements? Is the hay dusty? What about wormer? When was the last time he's been wormed or had a fecal done? From your description, I would consider dusty conditions or maybe lung worm. (Need to get a special fecal done for that) If has an abnormal temp, then might consider pneumonia, but I'd start with biomycin, or naxcel as first choice before penicillin. If you listen to his breathing, what does it sound like? Quiet? Labored? Raspy? More info can help us.
