Rafiki did make nearly a full recovery, the only thing left over is some weird rumble when he exhales through his nose (not snorting). Maybe its the defect that caused the whole aspiration in the first place who knows! Besides that and some shoulder scarring from the penicillin injections he's doing pretty good now-a-days.
I'm pretty confident his growth was stunted and now his size is a problem in my herd. Some of my bigger goats are real bullies and will cause serious injury or death to him. I'm considering getting him a friend his size and making a seperate pen but wanted to see what others had to say about how much he might or could grow.
He is full lamancha, 8 months old, 55lbs. His dam and sire were over 100lbs. No deficiencies, no parasites, no coccidosis, proper nutrition.
Have any of your guys been stunted and shot back up to normal? Or will he likely not reach 100?
