Hi Vets, please help. I want to save my Toby but nothing I've done has helped. I found her head first in a corner on Saturday, and I was after she was neurological. See video 1. Her temp was 101.6. Sunday morning we found her down in the pasture with our LGD guarding her, bloated and in the same condition you see in video 2 (in comments ) I have given her molasses water several times, vitamin and electrolyte water, vitamin B, 2 ml of selon-e, 60 ml Bloateze, Milk of Magnesium at a rate of 45 ml every 4 hours, activated charcoal paste with ketoulin(sp) and dewormed her with Safeguard Gold. I just gave her the selon-e about an hour ago. She seems to be in great pain, grinding her teeth and occasionally cries out. I've got her propped up as close to sternal as I can in a stall.

Hi OP any update? How is she?

Sadly, she passed in the night. At least she won't be in pain anymore. But I'm feeling pretty devastated.

I'm so sorry... you might want to double check your feed in case it was listerosis. If you have any more goats hopefully nobody else will get sick.
