Baby goats upper legs is swollen!

I need some advice please. I have a baby boer who’s upper leg is swollen and she won’t put weight on it. She doesn’t have a temp and it doesn’t seem warm. She’s walking around limping and eating and drinking fine. Was on medication recently for Gardia and coccydia. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds more like an injury.

A question I would float by my local vet. Otherwise keeping her quiet in a small pen with mom should likely do the trick in a few days. Youngins heal pretty quick.

Thank you. We figured but wanted other opinions. She’ll be going to the vet in the morning.

Thank you. Will definitely ask the vet.
