How is the goat today? If she is in any pain you can give her Children's Motrin at 1cc per 10 pounds every 6 hours. Check closly for any puncture wounds and/or cuts. Is she up to date on shots? Unfortunately, the dog has had a taste of the chase and catch and will continue to get more aggressive. You will have to make sure the goats and dog are secure at all times and possibly decide which one you want to keep. Yes, dogs can be raised with goats. I have 4 dogs. As much as they all love each other, everyone is secure when I'm not around. Good luck. | ||

That traumatized goat got more than a few scratches the least. With the dog's teeth clamped down as such, its sure to have very sore bruising of the neck muscles and possibly something punctured. If that dog is still anywhere around or even the sound of its barking, that goat will not recover well. The dog is not at most fault. It is a natural preditor. The fault lies with the owner's lack of control. The dog must be eliminated if your going to have a goat or at least chain the dog up securely or that type of animal abuse can happen again. | ||

How is she doing today? Hopefully she has recovered from the attack and is back to normal. It sounds like she was just very scared still. Every goat we've lost to dogs has died from a broken neck. And not our dogs, but neighbors who have come inside our fenced areas. We raise large goats, Neubian/Boer mix, but have lost several kids over the years this way. Please let us know how she's doing and if you need more help. | ||

We had a nubian doeling that had the same contact with a Doberman. She was covered with saliva and could not move. I forced her to move by just walking behind her. After a day of this she seemed fine and has been fine ever since. Her playmates and mother shunned her for a while but I think it was the smell of the dog saliva. Check her temp. and watch her poop. Make sure her rumen is working. See if she swallows normally. Goats are tough, if she survived the onslaught she should be okay. Depending on your priorities you should consider between goats and dogs. Our Doberman is no longer with us. | ||

We are new to goats and our pygmy goat got out of the fenced enclosure and was caught by my Siberian Husky. She has a few scratches and he had her by the neck for sometime. Apart from the minor scratches she is physically Ok except for waht appears to be shock. Rapid shallow breathing lack of pupil reaction. What do I do?????? |
