My weather was born in March 09, when we got him (May) he was banned. Last week (Monday)he started getting blocked with UC. He was taken to the vet (Tuesday) to have the end of his penis snipped off. At that time the vet told me I didn't need AC. After the goat getting some relief for a day or two he started to block up again, that is when I started treating with AC (Friday). Finally on Sunday he is able to go again.
In this process I have removed all feed from him and he is only getting grass, hay & tree limbs ect. In the last two days I have started giving a cup of feed(made for goats) in the mornings (split between two goats).
This goat is intended to be a 4H show goat for my daughter. My main question is will this be an ongoing problem that I will have to watch closely for? Is there anything that I can do as a preventive?
