Quote: I wasn't questioning her skill, you have mentioned she breeds, shows, judges goats shows.Hopefully she'll say you don't have that in your area. I just ask because Meningeal starts at the rear, while Goat Polio and Listeria typically start at the head, and you had mentioned that Listeria, goat polio, and a few other possibilities.
Here is the worming treatment if it does end up being a possibility (It can't be positively identified without necropsy, so hopefully the doe gets better and you don't find out with 100% certainty)
The curative treatment (treatment for infected goats displaying symptoms) has changed in 2013. Very high dosages of fenbenzadole (Safeguard/Panacur or equivalent) at a dosing rate of ten times the label dosage. Liquid Safeguard's label dose is 2.3 cc (ml) per 100 pounds bodyweight, which means that you must multiply this by 10 and dose at 23 cc (ml) per 100 pounds bodyweight. You can use Safeguard paste, also dosing at ten times the label's dosage rate based upon the goat's body weight. Treatment is given once a day for five consecutive days. Ivermectin was eliminated from the curative treatment protocol because researchers at Ohio State University found that it didn't penetrate the spinal column to kill the worms, so once neurological symptoms appeared, using Ivermectin was ineffective. If the goat is down and can't get up on its own, the chance for recovery is not good. An anti-inflammatory drug like Banamine can be useful in alleviating the inflammation of nerve tissue. Dexamethasone may also be used, but it will cause abortions in pregnant does.
On top of that, we can check deer in online; don't even have to go to a check station. All that does is encourage poaching. Eventually, the unlimited doe limits is going to decimate the population, and deer hunting will be only a memory, to the delight of the anti-gun & anti-hunting factions.
