Edited to say: After I took her temperature she is now bleeding from her anus. I've managed to get her to stand for a while. Later on in the day she stood up by herself. I've also now given her 5ccs of Vitamin B Complex SQ, and one human iron tablet down her throat (photo attached of the breakdown of that). Also given a shot of Catasol multivitamin SQ. After initially posting here I did some reading on this forum and came to the conclusion that a serious worm overload was likely the problem. Thoughts?? Based on that and while waiting for a response today I topped up her worming medication from yesterday (Valbazen down her throat) and today gave her 3ccs of Bimectin down her throat.
Please help! I have a 13 year old doe who for 3 days now has been having fits/twitches. We noticed yesterday her nose was bleeding (woke up to find blood snorted around her pen) and since last night there has been some mucus or pus? present as well.
Yesterday she could still stand and although off her feed, I managed to get 4 bananas into her as well as 2 banana leaves, some other scrub and a little bit of alfalfa hay. Yesterday she had water with molasses available all day and drank a decent amount.
Today she doesn't want to stand up and can't get her to eat or drink anything! Moments ago I took her temperature...38 degrees Celsius. She is not grinding her teeth in pain. Her breathing seems to be ok..no labored breathing.
She appears a little bloated so I've been making her have some baking soda.
Unfortunately we do not have the funds to get a vet to take a look, and besides that, there is no one here in Thailand that we know of that sees goats.
Yesterday and today I gave her 5ccs each of Penicillin G SQ and separately Tolfedine SQ. Yesterday I also gave her Valbazen (in case its worms), and also sprinkled her with sulphur powder in case it's lice/mites.
Recently we have had a rat bothering the goats and enjoying hanging around in their hay....could this be the problem? Other 'predators' I've noticed are mosquitoes and wasps.
Any advice on what else I can do please to try to save her?
