Goat with Bumps
Can someone help me? I bought a goat site unseen dum dum. The goat had pink eye,bumps under skin all over, very underfeed too!
Well, I have got pink eye cured, and feed an hayed her good for 3 months by herself. she is still by herself. She's a Sannen ? about 3-4 years old.
Like I say I just bought her to help a man out his wife passed and they just did nothing for her goats but put them in a pasture and hope they make it.
I have done all that I know to do. These bumps are about as big a a pencil erasier I guess. No infection that I can see.
Does anyone have any ideas?? I need all the help I can get.

I'm sorry, that is a very bad sign and could be advanced CL. (See sticky thread at top of this forum on CL). I am not saying it is, but it could be.
I once saw such a goat at auction. Bumps all over. It brought just $5. I was surprised it brought a biod at all. If it does have CL, the best you can do is put it down in the hole it will be buried in, and bury it deep and away from areas where your other livestock will be. Keep it away from your other livestock.
CL carcass...

Yep, I have to agree with Jim. When you said it had bumps, that is the only thing that I thought of. Good Luck. If you want to spend the money, have her tested to find out for sure.
Jim, that one hanging, was it one of yours? Or how did you get the picture?

Oh heck no, it was not one of mine. The pic came from an excellent resource, a chapter of a meat inspection guide for developing countries here:

A friend of mine had some goats with small bumps. She had them tested and it turned out to be staph. A course of antibiotics took care of it I think.

Well, that is a way bad carcass, if you look at the lungs and stuff on the site I posted, which has a lot of other diseases as well.

I though CL bumps were bigger than a pencil eraser.

Another thing that bumps 'could' be, besides the CL, staph, and lice already mentioned, would be bots. I've seen a cow with bot fly larvae growing under the skin -- they can get quite a few of them.
