Oh wow I just started looking up choke and goats. A few of the symptoms match but the most major ones don't. And I really hope it's not that sounds like some nasty stuff

I have had a couple goats over the years throw up. It wasn't choke. They had no trouble eating hay. It happened when they tried to eat their grain at milking time. It was chronic. I never did figure out what the problem was. It did not end well. The problem my goats had does not sound at all like what is going on here. My goats did not act sick but they did steadily lose weight. I couldn't fix it and I eventually ended up culling them. As I said, the problem my goats had does not sound like what is wrong with this one. I think the OP is right and she got into something toxic. A wise old vet once told me that the difference between sheep and goats is that sheep blunder into trouble but goats seek it out. Truer words were never spoken.I've never seen a goat throw up personally. I have seen it on Dr. Pol when a goat has choke. Did you feel the esophagus for a lump?
That's one of the wisest statements I've ever heard. I've only seen a girl throw up two other times and it's because of eating something toxic this time it looks like green she threw up whereas last time it was like blackish green. I'm hoping the activated charcoal does the trick My daughter said she checked on her when she got home and she got up and was moving around but I don't know how well she checked because she was in a rush between School and art classI have had a couple goats over the years throw up.
