If you can't find an injury there is no real reason to bandage. Likely if she dows have an injury it is so high on the leg bandaging wouldn't help. My pasture is very hilly and rough but I seldom have goats get sprains. Watch ofr other signs of neurological disorder, sometimes a limp is a sign of polio, milk fever or toxemia starting. But no need to panic, just be watchful to be sure she is acting normally in every way but a limp.

I think my boer doe sprained her leg. She was limping the other day and we couldn't find anything wrong. A day later she was still limping so we trimmed her hoofs and still found nothing so we're guessing it's a sprain. We have terraces in the pasture so I guess it could be very likely. My question is do I need to wrap it or anything or is it something that will just go away? she still has free run of the hills. Thanks!
