So I have two of my friends goats, she breeds them...I borrowed two that were too young to breed to fatten them up. I've had them mm maybe 6 weeks now? I messaged her last night because I noticed one had a big lump under her chin and she was a bit lethargic. So she brought Panacur dewormer and this redcell vitamin mixture stuff and gave it to both goats. Then asked if I had any grain or something that we could give the lethargic one. My horses dont get grain but I remembered I had my bran mash mix. I told her the ingredients and she said it sounded fine. So I mixed it up for them, they dove right in!
Then Goat B (not sick before goat) starts acting all goofy, like shes having a siezure. She comes out of it...kind of...it was like she still had vertigo though, her world was just spinning. We moved her to shade, and tried to help her relax, then forced some water in her. We stayed with her about 30 minutes then went to go bathe friends dog (goats owner). Came back out hour later to check on her, she seemed better but still loopy. Goat A, that was initially sick...seemed fine.
So we went riding..got back and Goat A still seemed fine, Goat B was up and about but still loopy.
Friend went home.
Few hours later I came out to check on them and feed horses. Goat A was dead. Goat B is still loopy but not dead.
I can't get a hold of their mom, I moved and covered the body but not sure what to do really. I'm just SHOCKED the goat that DIDN'T have the bad reaction is now dead.
Anyone have goats have bad reactions before? I'm googling it but not seeing much.
