9 month old wether walking around on knees

Well tonight he got up when I walked past his pen he's still wobbly but still improving with hoof treatment.

Good on ya. Sounds like you are doing the right thing. And like he is feeling better. Keep up the good work. And keep on cleaning those hooves.

Sounds like it was probably scald.. It gets between their claws, just like it gets between our toes.. They're hairy all over, so it can be hard to see any redness or irritation. Scald can be a little stubborn.. The only thing I've found that works is something copper sulfate based, like Kopertox.. That zinc sulfate stuff they sell at TSC is worthless, IMHO.. Copper kills EVERYTHING.

Glad he's doing better.

Last night I got him to walk 15 feet and back to his pen he's still tipsy but slowly improving

Just figured I'd update after the hoof treatments today he is almost 100%

YAY! I am so glad to hear he is doing better. It is great when we can help make a goat better. Or even when we don't do anything and you do all the work and the goat gets better anyway. Because the goat gets better and isn't sick anymore.
