Went to Devon for long weekend holiday and have come back early after a phonecall to say my Toggenburg Nanny was looking depressed. Asked the lady looking after her if she was scouring and they said there was a bit. we came straight home.
vet came yesterday, goat still lying down and gently moaning - its all too reminiscent of when we lost her son Ronnie
she has had bloods done and calcium etc all ok but urea up. treating her for rumen acidity now. prior to vet coming had managed to help her drink 2 L of the powder for scouring calves and she drinks well. she is less keen on the antacid prescribed by the vet which I have to give as a drench.
been checking and giving drinks hourly since yesterday1pm when we got back. she is still sat up, head up, ears now up.
have covered her with a blanket as her temp is low. this morning she gagged on the antacid mixture
nightmare!!
has anyone had similar situation where the goat made a good and full recovery?
