Exploring the pasture
We got our first goats a couple days ago, two unrelated 4wk old pygmies. One girl is a triplet & much smaller than the other who is a twin.
The first niggt with us, the little one began sneezing. Next morning (Sunday) her eyes had a lot of goop/mucus/eye boogers and dried mucus around her nose. Warm washcloth got her eyes open & cleaned then cleaned up around her nose too. By end of the day she was still sneezing and eyes began to re-goop. Today she's making little cough or throat clearing sounds & can occasionally hear snotty nose rattle.
Is it common to be a bit sick after vaccine like our human babies? Or could it be stress of leaving mom?
Is this just a "childhood" cold or something more serious?
Are baby pygmies prone to respiratory issues?
