Hi everyone,
We have a boer mix goat that just gave birth to 2 babies about a month ago. We were at work and the kids were still in their sack, dead of course, when we got home. The mom looked rough, a few days before the birth she had been sick and couldn't stand up. We gave her Nutri Drench and stood her up several times a day, she never lost her appetite. She appeared to be better then when she had her babies she seemed sick again. The babies looked perfect and were good size. I don't know if she was too sick to help them or if they were born dead and she knew it. This has never happened to us before. We wormed her the next morning and then 21 days later, with Valbezen. Her neck or lower jaw is swollen and she still looks poorly, but she is walking around and eating fine. Does anyone have a suggestion as to what is wrong?
