Help Pregnant goat with swollen legs
I have a goat that is due to kid June 4th that developed swollen back legs today. My neighbor suggested a calcium gluconate drench of 30cc three times a day. Can someone explain what has gone wrong here? Is it an imbalance in diet? I'd appreciate any help.

There is also a toxemia sticky at the top of this list.

Yup. I give CMPK injectable to help.

Keep her hydrated, too.
