Activated charcoal (you can usually get something like this at the drug store in liquid form, give an adult dose) is a good idea and there are 2 plant poisoning remedies on teh articles page under antidotes. The main thing is to try to keep fresh water in front of the goat to help maintain hydration.

I just got an emergency call from a goat owner acquaintence. He has a doe that was off, a bit "swollen". No fever, apparently, but no temp reported. Now, she is down and vomitng. I've had to deal with GI problems but never had a case of vomits, so my usual first reaction remedies (bicarbonate, Pepto or Milk of Magnesia, B complex +, if necessary, enterotoxemia measures such as antitoxin and penn G) don't seem adequate for the problem. I wonder about poisoning -- chemical or plant, since these goats are largely free range and though to of activated charcoal, but am really at a loss and would appreciate ideas.
