The goat died, but it was not entero..... something else. Thanks for your advice. This also has been a bad year for Floppy Kid Syndrome. | ||

Its been a bad year for entero. Keep us informed. Sometimes giving penicllin orally helps control the bacteria in the gut that causes entero. Give 2 cc orally and try to get some antitoxin. Maggie Leman Goat 911 Capri Medic | ||

I do not think the vet will be able to get here fast enough.... was just wondering if I already had it. Thanks so much for your help, this is a wonderful website. I will try to get some on hand for next time. Katherine | ||

It is not prescription, but most feed stores don't carry it. There are several brand names. This kid needs a vet. Entero usually kills in a couple of hours. But if you do get the antitoxin in the next hour or so give 3 to 5 cc every 4 to 6 hours. Continue the penicillin. Bring the kid in and warm him up. With the blood loss he likely needs IV fluids... With Floppy Kid Syndrome the kid is literally a dishrag, absolutely limp. This is not Floppy Kid. Maggie Leman Goat 911 Capri Medic | ||

Oh thank you very much! CD antitoxin, is that prescription? What is the brand name? | ||

This is probably enterotoxemia, I would contact a vet ASAP as he needs CD antitoxin (this is not the vaccine). The prognosis is very poor, I have never saved a young kid with entero once it gets this far. Maggie Leman Goat 911 Capri Medic | ||

Please Help!!! I have a baby goat (about 2 weeks old) who is all hunched up, has cold gums, and when I gave him an enema he passed pure blood, which makes me think no ecoli, because that is black with blood, right? I gave him 1/2 cc Banamine SQ and 3cc Pennicillin SO thinking it was floppy kid syndrome but I don't think it is. PLEASE HELP ME!!! |
