Hi my 6 1/2 week old mini Nubian goat hurt his leg tonight. I’m a nurse and am currently working night shift. Won’t be home until 8 in the morning. I’ve been staying with my parents(my dads sick) and so have my 2 bottle baby mini nubians. At time through the day the goats will go outside in a large dog exercise pen 4 feet high. I got a text from my mom tonight that one of the goats Cocoa must have tried to jump out and he was hanging upside down by his foot from the top of the exercise pen. Now he won’t put weight on it and it’s swollen. I asked her to ice it she did and said the swelling went down a little. She said he is eating and seems as energetic as ever but I’m just worried if it is broken will he be ok until the morning? Or will he develop a blood clot? Or wil there be permanent damage? God I wish I could leave work but I just can’t. I feel so awful
