Becky is now hurt.

Well paybacks suck! I believe someone payed Becky back for all the time she was mean. She is now limping bad. I know she is in pain. She already had 2 doses of banimine from being sick. So no more for her. I see no obvious injury to attend to. But she Is limping. Its her back right legs. Or could it be babies pushing on a nerve. She is still eating.

I would run your hand down her leg(s) to check for any swelling or heat. If you find none and she doesn't have any sensitive spots then I would say it is likely just kids pinching a nerve. If I ever had a doe/buck/kid come up limping or lame I always check for heat, swelling or any punctures/wounds that could be causing it.

Most of the time they just did something funky and are right as rain in no time. I am sorry you have been having so many troubles with Becky . Both you poor girls deserve a break! I haven't posted on your other thread but I have been keeping up on it. I hope this is just a simple pinched nerve!

I checked her her all up and down. No swelling. No heat. No obvious anything. I feel ai ba she is in pain. She is hobbling along. I remember bein pregnant with my twins. I had mine10 years and 2 days ago. I remember like it was yesterday. I will keep givin her a massage. I desperately want a girl from her!she is so wonderful. I think this is her last pregnancy. I just don't want to push her. This is only her third pregnancy but she is so big!

Check her hooves just to make sure everythings fine with her feet too but if no sweliing it could be a pinched nerve. Check the feet just to make sure.
Hope she's feeling better soon.

I did check her feet. Even got out the frog knife and made sure all was well. I have seen no problems.
