Nanno and All
I have my first problem.
Sam , Black and White
Decided to try and climb out and got his Right hind hoof caught in 2 X 4 wire as he went over the top.
No cuts, just hung up and over extended I think. Less than a few minutes of hang up.
Front 3/4 on the ground out side and hind leg caught in wire and very extended.
Thank God for my goat Camera system it is always on with the monitor right below my computer screen. Saw strange activity on the shed monitor did a look out the window , YEP, goat 3/4 of the way out leg hung up at top of gate in the 2 X 4 wire. One of those "OH SHIT" moments.
Ran out with wire cutter always on hand. Got the latch open to relieve some pressure , cut the wire trapping him.
Got him out. but he is lame on that back leg, did a external feel check nothing broken or dislocated that I could feel.
He did not want to walk on it but then that is to be expected right after getting out of the tangle.
He needed some time to gather his whits I think.
He was not going anywhere. Did a quick run back to camp pulled up medical files on goats and anti-inflatories /dose rates. The info came up Banimine IM 1 cc per 100 pounds. I always have Banimine injectable as well as bute on hand. So I loaded 1 cc grabbed a can full of grain and as by this time the other 3 boys were wandering around (Feeding Time) I went out to the high tie and put feed in the pans. The 3 pigs were there right now, then here comes Sam "Hobbling yes" but game to eat. Gave him the best spot on the line lowest point with plenty of slack to lay down see his buds yet not tangle.
While he was eating he got the Banimine in the flank. Never Jumped
All are staying out on high tie tonight , cooler out side than in shed tonight any way
They are all outside my window and under camera. As well as I can hear them through the bedroom window.
Also the neighbors dogs that used to get turned out about 2 AM for free run are gone. They moved.
So I can go to I hope as we get hot weather I can put goats out in the evening / overnight as training.
===============================
Back to Sam problem:
Any Ideas ya'll might have are welcome.
Any one ever have a goat get a hind foot caught in a rock crevasse and strained for example and what did you do to treat it.?
At this point I am treating on the base of my equine experience for a bowed tendon or strain.
Thanks
