Sugar

I have a very sick nubian. A week ago she started limping, about a month before that we were treating her for two weeks for listeriosis/polio. Now she cannot use either of her front legs. She is eating but I have to drench her for liquids. I was using Naxel every six hours, but was told to switch to penicillin. I am also giving thiamine every six hours. I gave her banamine last night because she seemed to be in so much pain. Can anyone help.

These questions are from the "goat emergency" thread above, asking things that need to be known to help....

Temperature?
When was the last time you wormed?
Wormed with what and how much?
Is she pregnant?
When did she last have kids?
Is her milk normal if she is in milk?
What age?
Do you vaccinate?
What do her lungs sound like when she is breathing?
If this is a kid, is it nursing or on a bottle, goat milk or milk replacer?
Have they had a change of grain?
How long have you owned this goat?
