We have a 1 yr old Nubian doe that is having a constant cough. Dry cough but noticed a runny nose today. Eatin good and drinking. Poop is berries as should be. What should I do? Anything?

Keep an eye on her temperature and monitor. You may want to send poop to a lab for lungworm testing (it is a specific kind of test they have to do to get it to settle out), or try treating her for it (if she is at least 100 days bred) and see if the cough clears up. There are a lot of things in a goat's life to make them cough. I don't worry about it too terribly much if they are chipper and don't have a fever.
