I just got two Nigerian Dwarf goats a few days ago. One is a doe in milk (we are milking) and the other is her 4 month old wether son.
I noticed when we got them they were sneezing a bit. Now they sneeze, have mucus in their noses (not a ton, but it's there) and I think I've heard a cough from both of them too. And I am pretty sure the wether's ear is bothering him. He was rubbing the side of his head on my leg today, and not his normal frisky self.
They were wormed a couple of weeks ago before we got them, and the doe was tested for CAE this past spring. The wether was bottle fed.
Is this serious? The wether seems to be less active today. Before we got them, they only ate hay, and the doe, grain during milking. We have a pasture and they've been browsing on weeds and stuff.
These are our first goats so we have no clue what to do. Any ideas?
