Help! My mother goat has a swollen tongue!
My goat gave birth to her first baby 2 days ago.
She is a good mother, she is constantly linking and caring for her new baby. But this morning I noticed her tongue is swollen, and don't know if it is from linking her baby too much, or something more serious. Got any advice?

Not to sound rude but are you absolutely sure its swollen and not that goats normal tongue sixe. I say that because i always seem to forgst how huge their tongues are and have mistaken it for swollen before. Also if she able to eat and drink and able to close her mouth i doubt its much of a problem however that said i havent a clue as to what would cause it. Could she gotten ahold of a thorny plant and possibly got a thorn in it? If not what has she had access to she might allergic to something.
