Kid Goat Swollen Knee. My goat had a kid 2 days ago on saturday march 16th between 8 30 9 am. Baytril is what was used in the other goat and she did survive her ordeal.
My very first goat was a nubian doeling. The two main symptoms i ve seen in positive does are swollen knees and a hard udder. She was actually used as a clean up kid on cae positive animals.
He does not seem to be in pain.
Vet tested tested fluid drained from his knee there is no bacteria growth. 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. As far as symptoms go some can test positive and remain asymptomatic for many years or even life. A friend s doe was infected at a goat show after a kid fed her some milk from his sick doe.
