Loving the herd life
I think my goat has some knocked out teeth or injured jaw maybe? He’s very quiet which is super weird for him, and has bloody drool around his mouth. He wants to eat but it definitely looks like it hurts. There was also blood in the water bucket. I tried to get his mouth open to look but he screamed and the lighting is bad so I couldn’t totally tell but I think his two front teeth got knocked out. He doesn’t seem to be bleeding now though and there’s not a lot of blood around the barn. I’d think with a knocked out tooth there would be more blood around. I’m worried about how quiet he is. He seems like in shock or something. He just stands there and shakes his head once in a while. I’m going to try to get a better look tomorrow when I have someone to help and it’s light out. But if he did knock out some teeth there’s nothing we can really do for him right? Is there a pain med we can give him? Will he be able to eat ok once healed? He seemed to do better with grain than hay this evening. He’s a spoiled 8 month old bottle baby living with his brother (both wethers) and a couple Shetland sheep. He does play pretty rough with his brother so I could see how an injury could have happened.
