Thank you.

I'm not sure if this would have helped, but a breeder I've bought several goats from taught me that if a goat seems a little down, injecting her with B vitamins can buy you time to figure out the problem and fix it.

I called my vet as soon as I noticed the problem and asked what the options were. She thought it was connected to him being sick a couple days before so just wanted me to give banamine to get the fever down and make him comfortable. The enterotoxemia wasn't diagnosed until too late. He was in the front seat of my car on the way to the vet when he crashed. The B injection never came up or I would've done it. So many things can go wrong in such a short time with these little guys.
