Goat Kid Walking On Knees. How long the goat has been foundered is a question that may never be answered if the animal is new to the herd. She is non responsive to all but her eyelids being touched.
I got a call from a friend of my son s today who has a goat that has been walking on her knees for 3 days now. The goat is 2 years old and pasture fed and has been fine until this. He was born very strong and healthy but what concerns me is that my goat has since then been showing most symptoms of possibly having a second kid although it has been more than 48 hours.
Kids must receive adequate colostrum at birth.
A goat especially a young kid will walk stiff legged when they are not feeling well. I have an orphaned kid goat who is only about 5 weeks old. She has had this goat for about 1 year doesn t know much about goats yet. 4 kids with legs bent under them causing them to walk on their knuckles are usually suffering from contracted tendons.
