So sorry to hear about Faith. Not sure if you have read my post about Jinty our Anglo Nubian goatling, who contracted Listeria 3 weeks ago. She was flat out for over two weeks, paralysed down one side, and even her mouth and tongue were affected. She was really bad, and things looked bleak, and to be honest, I did wonder if we would get her on her feet again ....but .....three days ago, the miracle happened for Jinty. I will post an update under goats, about her.
So, just want to say, don't give up hope. Getting fluids into sick goats is a priority, although easier said than done, but Jinty seemed to like the calf powders, and also, I have been giving her ready mash extra, which we use for our older pony. You mix it with water and soak for 5 minutes, either hot or cold.......its got glucose in it, so gives a sick animal some much needed energy. It was a life saver for Jinty when I was spoon feeding her, but she loved it. I also have been collecting willow leaves, and she has been eating the bark.
