Foamy mouth after deworming?

[neener92]

I have a Boer buck that was just dewormed a week ago, just Saturday he started kinda getting a foamy mouth and acting like he's not feeling well, would this be him just getting rid of the worms, or something else. Help!

I would say it is something else. The wormer would expel the worms right away. Are there any other symptoms?

 

[neener92]

He's not eating, just acting a little off. I'm going to try to have the vet come up tomorrow. I want some blood taken from a few goats and fecals done. If the vet isn't busy that is.

I would say that the events seem unrelated.

Can you provide some more details? Additional symptoms?

Is the left side, high and tight? Is he able to pass gas (either direction)?

 

[neener92]

His left side felt normal when I gave him a pat down. I haven't noticed him passing gas, though this weekend has been so busy I haven't been able to sit with them and watch them.

I would suspect he ate some sort of toxic plant. I'd administer activated charcoal. How is he feeling today?

 

[neener92]

There isn't anything in their field that is toxic. :/ I'm going to check on him again, he seemed a little better today.

He's nibbling grain, acting a little more himself, maybe his tummy just hurt. I'll keep a close eye on him.

I forgot to mention that he was started on ammonia chloride about a week or so ago, its given daily 1 tsp. in his feed, could he be reacting to that?

Highly unlikely.


But if he choked on a little bit of feed it can cause them to foam at the mouth. I had a buckling do that once.
