I think I have read somewhere that a cough or a nasal discharge can be a sign of worms. I prefer to keep tabs on the color of the lower inner eyelid as a guage for the most serious blood sucking worms. Sure am glad Rochelle is feeling better everyday!
BTW, many of my pygmies would not have too much trouble jumping a 2.5 foot fence! I would think a boer wouldn't see it as much of an obstacle either.

Update on Rockelle. I went out to treat her this morning and she was out in the field grazing with the group. She had to jump the 2.5' fence. She wouldn't let me get near her and ran off. Tonight, She was tough to catch but I got her! A good sign. Her temperature was 102. Her breathing was heavy but no rattles. She ate with the group for the first time, rather than waiting til the rest were done. She even butted heads with another goat. Thank you both for your help. You helped save this goat. A question, is a clear nasal discharge and labored breathing a sign of worms? You both picked up on her having worms immediately and I thought she had respiratory pneumonia. I'd like to know for future reference. I had a big buck that we lost whose symptoms were identical to hers and never thought that this might be worms. Thank you both again. |
