I'm sorry you didn't get the answers you were hoping for. It's not only disappointing but also disconcerting. It took me a long time to get over my paranoia after Sputnik had that bout with silent pneumonia (I'm still guessing that's what I was dealing with but never got official confirmation). Your goats' initial symptoms sound very similar to Sputnik's except that Sputnik had a quick recovery once we started treatment. We never did any blood work.
One thing is for sure: You're entitled to a long run of GOOD luck at this point. You poured so much into your little guys and I'm sure the financial cost was tremendous in addition to the emotional toll. To get no answers on top of it all is immensely frustrating to say the least. I hope you never again face such a crisis. I'm glad you've found an adoptive home for Rafiki. I hope he thrives. I can't believe he's only 35 lbs. at five months. Most of mine hit 35 lbs. at around five weeks! He's fortunate to have survived his aspiration problems, poor fellow. I hope he can leave his eating and drinking troubles behind and be a fun little pet.
