Sounds like a nasty worm. How common is it?

-Kathy
I don't know how common it is. Meningeal Worm, Goat Polio, and Listeria all have similar symptoms and fortunately similar treatments. Without people wanting to pay for necropsy, it would be hard to know a number. I have one goat that survived possible meningeal worm or atypical listeria. She's functional in the herd, but not used in breeding, hind legs don't work right and are somewhat weak. But she is tough and the other goats certainly done't push her around.

Adorable.
 
We're incubating our first eggs right now. Currently on day 4. We purchased Lavender Orpington and Russian Orloff hatching eggs from a local breeder. We also have four Black Copper Marans which she included at no charge since the rooster was injured and separated the week before there's no guarantee they're fertile. We also got half a dozen mixed Barred Rock, Easter Egger, Australorp from my father in law, Two dozen total in the incubator.
