We just got back from fair. Had our goats in a pen Thursday, Friday, part if Saturday. A goat across the walkway and down a eon had a cyst type lump on it's head/neck area. Never paid much attention and didn't think much of it. Goats were shown together but not sure any contact was actually made between them. Now this morning one goat has a snotty nose. Coughing. Haven't ckd temp. Do I need to worry?

Shipping pneumonia most likely for your goat. It's pretty common after stressful situations such as being moved from one place to another. Pen G shots every day for 5-7 days should take care of that.

I would be weary of that other goat possibly having CL and would quarantine any goats that were near it and probably do a blood test in 30 days and again in 90.

Thanks! It wasn't draining at the fair. She had it lanced previously I was told but not sure what came out of it.
