Hello all. I have a 10 year old goat, Bella. I know she's pretty old but she's still my pretty girl. About a month ago we noticed she wasn't getting around as easy, getting very skinny, and kept falling over. Brought a vet in and she had worms. I can't remember what they were called. Coccili something like that. Started with a C. Well she got a little better. Now she is back down. It started her falling over, to now she's not even walking, standing nothing. She is still eating and drinking and going to the bath room , all that. Brought the vet in again, gave her an IV and shots trying to get her energy back up. Tested her for worms again and that one kinda worm was back ( we are doubting it never went away ) well the wormer and meds and shots aren't seeming to help at this point. She can't get up. We try to lift her up to make her walk and she goes right back to the ground. She had been laying back where we woild need to roll her back on her belly so she didn't bloat ( my husband is the farm guy) now she's not doing that but instead when she tucks her head beside her (like they do to sleep) she can't move it back up. We have to go in and lift it for her. I just read someone's post about the same thing happening to her 3 year old goat and she had to be put down bc she lost all movement in her neck. Which is what is happening to my Bella girl. does anyone have any thoughts to help my girl
