Excede is an long acting antibiotic first creating for use in horses, but there have been several reports of bad side-effects including death in horse use. I have no experience with it being used on goats, but would never use it on a horse for the above. For congested udder I would give Vit...

If the poop was normal and no other symptoms than what was described, my first thought would be Listeriosis. Rabbits go off feed, have weight loss, hunch in corners and die suddenly. Sometimes they will exhibit seizures or paralysis or die with no symptoms. It is contagious to other rabbits...

Use 1cc Ivomec pour on found at TSC. Put it in a 3cc syringe and push out between back of ear base. For treatment - retreat in 10 days; for prevention dose monthly.

If her eye has discharge, I would treat as an infection and use either VetRX or a triple antibiotic ointment. Both are safe for meat rabbit use. You can get both over the counter - no vet charge. VetRX is sold at TSC and you can get the ointment anywhere - I prefer cheap dollar store brand -...

Okay same principle with a goat - I have used this method to check for low temp when my thermometer broke on me. Pinch as far down in the ear as you can or press two fingers down in the ear. If it feels really warm almost hot your good - at least not a low temp. If it is slightly warm to...

You really need to check her temp. You don't have a human thermometer you can use? The kind that beeps? Place it in her bum covering the silver tip, when it beeps you have her temp. Normal is 102.5 to 104. If she is shivering I would think it is low and you need to get it up. Fill up your...

Any update on how your goat is doing? I wouldn't have thought tetanus unless she had a wound. My thought in a 2yo would be Enterotoxemia similar to FKS but in adults but the Op states CDT was given 3weeks ago. My second guess would be Meningeal worms then Listerosis. I hope she is getting...

I am just wondering what lungworm protocol/treatment was used. I had a buck who coughed and kept on for several months. I used the Ivermectin apple paste and after the 2nd dose ten days after first, it went away. I treated with the 3rd dose just to make sure and he's had no further issues...

I am glad your guy is doing better. Our first goat a wether died from UC - at the time I knew nothing about it and neither did the vets in our area. I took it on myself to learn everything about it after that. Apple Cider Vinegar 2cups per 5 gallons of water keeps UC from forming. I add it...

Glad she's doing better. I was going to ask if she could have gotten into the rat poison. For future reference: We use Ivomec pour on for mites/lice - wearing gloves, for goats under 25 pounds, dip a cotton ball in a small bowl of the liquid and run the cotton ball down the spine starting at...

Clean with Betadine and then put Neosporin on it 3xd for about a week.

I agree rabies is not something to mess with and your doctor can go ahead and start you on a post-exposure prophylaxis treatment now. My question is what made the vet think rabies? Cases are really rare in livestock unless there is exposure issues. Are you in an area with a lot of raccoons...

That is a low temp - you need to get it up quick. Normal is 102.5 -104. Bring him in and if you can't do a warm water bath, use a blow dryer to warm him up and a heating pad. With that low of a temp he will go down fast. Are there any other symptoms? Continue the B vitamins and probios, but...

We have automatic waters - I think they hold 5 gallons water. We add two cups each week to the waterer. I think it helps with a lot of things and I have never had any UC problems with my bucks.

Currently I feed my goats (Pygmies and Nigerians) Allstock Sweet feed. But I am looking into finding a better quality feed that includes copper. Here are my options, please tell me what you think. All my goats get free access to hay and browse. Choice #1 Crude Protein (min.) 12.00%, Crude...

We have a three-sided covered shelters made from pallets/plywood and roll roofing with a wall separating the quarantine area. We use hanging metal cages. In our setup we placed a border wall near the end with two cages on one side and the main setup of six cages on the other side of the wall...

I can't really picture what you're saying. Stiff leg paddle = are they stiff all the time or just when he's walking? Also is he showing any other symptoms - leaning on things, standing with head facing corners, walls or trees, any weakness or lameness in legs, wobbly or lying down a lot? If...

Many things could be going on. Have you wormed or tested her for worms? I agree with a fecal, but you need to get her started on B1 an B12 immediately! It is my first go-to whenever a goat is acting off. And can help the goat make a quick turnaround/recovery. I use over the counter...
