Tons of VERY useful information and I am thankful for all of it. Feeling not easily hurt here! So entire barn has been disinfected as instructed by vet and everything found online as to not spread it. Since it does not kill livestock it can be controlled from my understanding. As long as goat...

It seems to be getting better pretty quick. So hard to get a good picture she moves around so much haha. She is doing so good, eating and hydrating. Those ears haha I am going to keep her separated for at least another week just to be safe and watch her closely.

Vet came out today. Said classic presentation for sore mouth. Says since there is no secondary bacterial infection is why it doesn't look near as bad as all pictures I see on line. So I need to keep it clean, carefully as not to get it myself. And it will run its course in 3-4 wks.

This was VERY helpful! Thank you so much. After reading the article, I am leaning also towards dermatophilosis. I may have my vet come out and inquire about a culture and antibiotics. Greatly appreciate the advice!! Looks like poor lil bit is going to be lonely a little while longer.

Today's update. Not really any worse or better, which I guess is better than it being worse.

I REALLY hope that's all it is...I'd rather it be literally anything than Sore Mouth. Ant hill, bryar patch, just her lil albino skin... whatever it may be...except Sore Mouth. But I am being cautious. Hoping someone with more experience can comment so that I feel more comfortable letting her in...

Anyone know much about sore mouth? I picked up a 3 mo old doeling yesterday and the more I watch her the more I am worried she might have the start of sore mouth. I've never dealt with it and the pictures online are horrific. I need to get a good picture. Her little bumps are not quite sores...

have a doe who kidded about 2 months ago. We are now drying her up due to one of her udders becoming (literally) the size of a 2 liter bottle, low enough it drags the ground and no longer milk but a watery substance, and tender to the touch. That being said, I know to stop grain. We have her...

Thank you all for the kind words. My son found her when he got home from school, really upset him. As tough and strong as my husband is, it ended up getting to him and couldn't bring himself to cut her open. As curious as I was, I couldn't do it either.

Well she made the decision for us. She passed away :hit. Glad she is at peace now. My husband wants to do an informal necropcy to see what that mass was. :idunno

Tuesday update. Red is still here. We have had to belch her every 2 days at the minimum. It is getting worse each time. Last night we thought she aspirated so bad she was gone. It was VERY painful seeing that. I won't let her go theough that again. She has taken a liking to an old truck in the...

So she is 100% bloated again. Husband was not successful in belching tonight. She is not alert.

She was bloated again yesterday when my husband got home from work. He successfully belched her, like the vet did. The mass is still there. Rock hard. No idea what to make of it. She has an appetite and drinks water. :hu

She is still with us today! :weee even up and alert, met me at the fence before leaving for work. I hope for further improvement when I get home :fl

Been reading up on hematomas as well. :caf the options of what this is remain a mystery. Feels like she swallowed a stump! It's hard and big as a softball. She also seems to be bloating again.:hu:hit gave her b complex, duramycin. She is laying down which she hadn't done since yesterday. We...
