Goat question

[Wannabefree]

I have a cousin whose nanny just had a baby about 3 days ago. Now the nanny is puking and has diarrhea. Any ideas on why and is it "normal?" I never had that issue with mine

She has given her electrolytes, and I told her some baking soda may help..beyond that I just don't have a clue As I said, mine never had that problem at all. I have seen a goat throw up one time, and she was in labor with a mouthful or corn at the time

oh golly - what i'll say is NO that is not normal at all.

there was just a thread on BYH on goats puking - i dont remember what they said but you might want to check it out.

hope she is ok!

Thanks! I didn't think it sounded good either. I hope she's okay too!! Going to look!

Sounds like poisoning and is a critical situation. Activated charcoal, veg oil, baking soda are the usual treatments. Hopefully you already have some answers from byh and the goat is still hanging in there....someone needs to make sure the baby is getting enough to eat, too.
