Signs a Goat is Unwell

Isolated from herd
Depressed
Scouring or other discharges
Arched back
Lameness
Unexplained groaning and bleating
Long or short laboured breathing
Staggering
Lacking alertness
Unable to get up

 

WHAT TO DO WHEN A GOAT SHOWS THESE SIGNS

  1. Go out and observe and make a note of what is not right, only you will know your goat.
  2. Depending on what signs you see you can have a fair idea of what it might be:

Eg staggering, unexplained bleating-poisoning, some sort of toxicity

Unable to get up- poisoning or injury or some infection

 

SIMPLE WAYS TO DEAL WITH A SICK GOAT

  1. Keep the animal warm in an area with another friendly animal. If you isolate the animal it will stress as goats are herd animals and so need company.
  2. Ensure the goat has access to clean water, hay and shelter.
  3. Keep the animal hydrated and call experienced farmer or vet for help
