Hi I need some advice, I have a yearling that was given cdt 2 weeks ago and wormed this past week. She was
walking around and acting fine when I went to throw hay.
Now I have her inside, she was down
Her temp is 99.0 degrees
labored breathing
cold mouth
and strainging her legs and neck backwards.
Hubby thinks I can save her, seen this before when I first had goats 5 years ago. and the goat didnt make it
then.
Given her: vit b complex gel, probios and had her up elevated thinkin at the time before temp that maybe
she had a tummy ache.
she's a 25 lb dwarf pygmy

when she was born she was too tiny and I didnt think she would make it then, but she outsmarted me.
Thank you I would really apprecitate it.

Can you give an iv? If so run a line of warm (body temp) sodium choloride or lactated ringers solution into her. If not give her a warm (as you can stand it to touch) water enema. You need to bring her temp up. Get her up on her sternum too.

Thank you Elevan for your response.

Rainbow passed away in my arms at 12:40 p.m.

I really appreciate you answering for my help.

God Bless you

I'm really sorry you lost her.
We sure get attached to these little characters.
