hurt legs
#4
Foot/ankle injuries are seldom if ever caused by another goat--even one with horns. I would suspect something more like what Charlie Horse suggested--feeders, fences, wood pallets, and other things laying around the barn can trap feet. I've also had goats injured a few times when horses have stepped on their feet. Do you have any horses?

I agree that Banamine is better than aspirin. You have to give a ton of aspirin to a goat to make it effective. I've used ibuprofen on a couple of occasions with good results. I've also used Bute, which is commonly used for horses. Banamine is better than any of those, but you have to get it from a vet. Sometimes the best thing you can do is hose the painful area with cold water to help get the swelling down.
