Remember allergic reactions can cause your throat to swell. It may not be an abscess, not that she's wrong but there are other open possibilities.

Very true Chris... But it seems the Nuflor is working. I just emergency called the vet. (I know I am the client from hell now) I will be able to get the Nuflor tomorrow morning at 8am. He said the Biomycin is a different kind of anti-biotic. She is actually out grazing with the other goats right now!!

Just wanted to say that whenever you see loss of coordination, loss of ability to move the mouth (often accompanied by drooling), Give Thiamine every 6 hrs day 1, at least 2-3x day 2 for a week or more. Polio/listeria often show these signs. I'd suggest Penicillin every 6 hrs at high dose enough to cross the blood/brain barrier, but you've got her on nuflor so that should work.

She is totally normal tonight. She is going Hell Bent for Election at the hay! Gobbling it up. She took a handful of pellets from me and ate it slowly...but chewed and swallowed. Drinking water, strutting around...so much better :) :) :) where is the happy tears smiley???
|
I wonder if she ate a bee... Hmmm I am so happy to hear she is doing better though.

W00t!
|
So pleased for you!
|
Go Gretta! It sounds like she's getting better. Still wish the mystery was solved, though.
Hugs to both of you tonight:) |
Oh, Michelle! What a relief! (((hugs)))
|
Did the lady you called say it was common to have an abscess in that spot? Or what might cause it? So glad she is doing better.
|
Sounds like the Nuflor & maybe the combination of everything else is working! What ever it is I'm so glad it sounds like she's on the mend. Keep up with the Nuflor & don't forget probios or yogurt for a few days to a week afterwards to help get the bacteria back in her gut.

happy dance, happy dance!!!!!!!!

I'm getting more Nuflor from the vet this morning...in all my happiness of her recovery I forgot how horrible it was when he gave her the first dose. She screamed bloody murder :( The thought of doing that to her again is quite unsettling :( I'm going to have to get a friend to help hold her down. Buzz kill :(
|
Fantastic, Gretta!

My vet is going crazy this year with all of the foxtail. Apparently it loves dry hot weather and has really flourished this year. It works its way into ears, noses, throats and paws. The animals end up having reactions a lot like Gretta's. I don't know if you have it there. If you don't, thank your lucky stars. We've been looking at houses and we've passed up 2 just because the fields and surrounding fields were full of it. Ugh. A stick or sticker would do the same thing. I'm glad Gretta's feeling better. Are you're still taking her in? I would just in case something is still lodged. She'll be back to eating Tinker in no time.
