Okay,
Monday: Our 2 month old Nigerian Dwarf buckling died from pneumonia that wasn't able to be treated in time. Vet said HighNote's fecal was clean. We got home that evening and noticed later on(after the vet was closed) that Sheba & Oliva were coughing.
Tuesday Morning: Called the vet and told them the symptoms, they told us they were filling out a script for SMZ-TMP for cocci. We went down and picked it up, gave it to all 3 kids and have been continuing to administer it, and will be for the next few days.
Yesterday: Noticed Minnie hacking(sounded normal - like hacking up cud). Sheba & HighNote acting
Today: Minnie- hacking(a couple times in a row and then not again for 30 mins to an hour)... lack of appetite, lethargic(laying down most of the day, will stand for a few minutes at a time), reclusive, not drinking(except for what little electrolyte I have been able to shove down her throat via a syringe), appears to be empty(tried to poop, but nothing came out & belly does not feel firm from constipation)... I had given her Ivomec 1% Ivermectin yesterday, started her on Red Cell today... still don't know what is wrong with her.
Also, Minnie was bred to Falkor(recently found out that he might have CAE{clicking in his joints & stiff hips}) a little over 4 weeks ago... is it anywhere near normal for a doe to become lethargic in early pregnancy like some women can??
