Over the last two weeks the goats kidding have completely taken over my life. I was having a blast with this despite being so busy until last night when I decided I should check the temperature of a pregnant doe I thought was in prolonged labour her temp was 105.1! Called the vet she diagnosed pneumonia and put her on penicillin. She's had one dose so far.
Problem is I have her in the barn and I have been having kids in that barn. One set of twins before she came in and two since. Now one of the kids born yesterday is breathing fast, making weird sucking sort of noises but has a temp of just 101.2. So I am thinking now that I am going to lose that kid and every single goat I have is going to come down with pneumonia now
