Weather goat 106.7 temp

[tjo804]

My goat AZ has a temp of 106.7 this morning I am concerned he is not acting normal laying around not eating much let me clip his hooves this am with little struggle not excited over normal treats. and looks sad eyed that is why I took his temp. 106.7

What can I do ?

With a temp of 106.7 there is no doubt he's got a problem. That's a high temp and he most likely needs antibiotics and fever reducing meds. Can you have him seen by a vet?

Vet thinks urinary calculi
she gave him an antibiotic and banamine and sent home 2 more doses for tomorrow and friday.
and said to give him milk of magnesia and no more grains.
after an hour in the car with air conditioning he was still 106.4 when she took his temp.

Uh oh... That's not great news. Did she suggest ammonium chloride for him? It's commonly used in cases of urinary calculi. Hopefully the meds will work well for him.

Please keep us posted on his condition. I really hope he gets better for you!

No she did not I am not sure I agree with her "diagnosis" I know she is the vet the expert, but she touched his belly and gave him 2 shots gave me a big syringe to put milk of magnesia in to give him and banamine for 2 days. I will do as she said and keep a close eye on him but other than the fever he doesn't really show signs of that. but I am new and dont know. but it doesnt feel like the answer to me.

I am wondering with the antibiotics if I should give him some chaffe hay to build up his good bacteria and maybe ACV in water???

I have heard about ammonium chloride before I will check the feed store.
