Can't hurt to treat for milk fever/ketosis. You can give CMPK gel or liquid (get this at the feed store) and Magic solution (1 part Molasses, 1 part vegetable oil, 2 parts Karo Corn Syrup mix with a little warm water to thin it some) give 2 to 3 ounces 2 to 3 times a day. Be sure the kids are nursing. For pain you can give Liquid Children's Motrin at 1 cc per 10 pounds.
Lots of goats poop laying down, mine all do at night...
If she is in a stall you might encourage her to go outside. Lots of does get really bored in a stall and do nothing but lay around...

This morning the babies seemed fine. walking around and playing, but mom would not get up on her own. I stood her up and that lasted about 2 minutes before she layed back down. She is still panting but growning a lot less. She also pooped while laying down. I have never seen her do that before. Is she just tired? Should I be worried? It doesnt feel right. |
