Thank you, I'll get some peanut oil just incase I have issues in the future :)

Thanks everyone for the responses. Our boys are doing much better now :) Our neighbor has a friend trying to get rid of some Nigerian Dwarf does so we may get a couple more girls in the near future! I'm going to have to get rid of our 2 fainting goats first though - they have horns and tend to...

@farmerjan I think there was some bad plant in the mix (my mom said she was pulling the overgrown daisies and tossed them over the fence). Or since the pen is along side the street, someone may have tossed something into their pen without knowing it was bad (I hope not, but it's possible). It'd...

@Jesusfreak101 @B&B Happy goats I went to our vet's office this morning for a follow up on our pug (she just got spayed) and I asked if they knew any large animal vet that would be able to help. I explained our situation and the vet tech/receptionist I spoke to was suspecting she got bit or...

@chickens really That's another thing I've been thinking about. We've been told there are rattle snakes out here. I have yet to see one, but maybe she got bit :(

@MuldrowHomeFarm @farmerjan Thank you for the kind words. I don't know if there was anything anyone could've done; it all went down less than 30 minutes... I do plan on getting a trocar/cannula and some some other suggested first aid gear for goats incase we encounter some (bloat) issues in...

There are no vets open where I am. SHe just did a big burp, but still in a lot of pain. Does it sound like endotoxemia? is there anything I could do for that?

Our neighbor says it may be bloat and told us to give her some olive oil. I squirted about 1/4 cup down her throat but I'm worried she ate something bad. I'm so scared for her plz help :hit

I need help, my female nigerian dwarf goat (about 5 years old) just started screaming and cannot stand. I have no idea what's going on nor what to do!!!! Any advice is appreciated!!!

@purplequeenvt Thank you for the advice! I don't plan on selling any-one, but if I do I'll be sure to get them re-tagged :)

Hi Everyone, I’ve been using this site for a couple years and finally made an account to post lol! Anyway, I recently moved from Colorado to Southern California and the vet required ear tags for our goats (4 Nigerian Dwarf and 2 Tenessee fainters). The vet didnt have the plastic scrapie tags...
