- My goat almost died from Listeriosis and I want to share how she beat it. This video explains how she got listeriosis, her symptoms, the treatment, the cost of treatment as well as an update nine months later on how she's doing now.
Amelia Bedelia’s Listeriosis treatment:
Dexamethasone 1 ml given once on the first day of her illness.
Banamine 0.6 mls subcutaneously every 12 hours.
B vitamins 4mls sq every 12 hours.
Pennicillin G 5 mls intramuscularly every 12 hours.
Oxytet 4.5 mls sq once every two days.
Lactated ringer solution 1 liter of fluids subcutaneously every day. (500 mls of fluid under her skin twice daily).
Feed and supplements:
Sweet potato and beer combo (recipe below)
Alfalfa pellets soaked in warm water
Quaker Instant Oats cooked in warm water
Nutri drench Plus for goats
Goats Prefer Probiotic Plus paste
Recipe I used for my goat's recovery, I found on UA-cam "How to Save a sick goat" by McFall Farms. • How to Save a Sick Goa...
I used one cooked sweet potato, blended with one can of beer, one cup of water and a quarter cup of molasses. The recipe calls for a cup of yogurt but I didn't have any at the time so I made the recipe without it.

Hello, I just wanted to thank you for making this video! You saved my goat Coco's life, I'm not sure my vet or myself would have kept hope and treatment going this long. She is on day 8 and is doing so much better, standing on her own can't really walk to much yet but is eating grain/hay and drinking on her own. Fingers crossed for a full recovery! Thanks again!
Oh my goodness! I am so happy to hear Coco is improving! Yay! That is amazing. Great job catching it early and supporting her. She is a lucky goat to have you. Amelia is continuing to do great. She raised two beautiful kids last year and is in her second trimester of pregnancy currently. She loves being a mom. I wish you and Coco all the best.
Hello! I’m a pre-veterinary student and am studying prior to an exam on a large amount of goat & cow illnesses. I like to watch videos of cases to help apply my class work to real stories. Thank you so much for posting such a detailed story of Amelia bedelia ❤ I’m so glad she’s okay and hope to be the vet that helps others someday regardless of the day of the week
Hi! Thank you for reaching out and for your kind words. That’s a great idea to watch real life cases to apply what you are learning in class in a real life scenario. I learned a lot in my animal veterinary science courses but doing zoo internships and working in animal hospitals helped me to see real life cases as well to help in learning. I love how UA-cam offers so many educational videos to learn from. I am so happy to hear you are on a path towards helping animals! I wish you all the best on your exam as well as your journey to become a vet. We sure do need more vets!
You have given me hope ... we have a male goat who is going through this at the moment. We are on day 2, having found him wobbly and confused yesterday morning, with a head tilt and drooling. Vet has given us 7 days worth of penicillin and dex injections, but today he was worse than yesterday. I always worry when a goat stops eating as it is so hard to get their digestion working again. This evening I felt like he was giving up, as wouldn't even drink anything, so thinking we would have to make the final decision tomorrow to call the vet back, but I will give your recipe a try and hopefully we can get something into him tomorrow to help him fight this. Thank you for sharing your journey and preventing me giving up too soon. Hopefully once the "crisis" days are over we can pull him through this xxx
I am so sorry your male goat is sick. It is so hard to see them feeling so poorly. You’re doing a great job. You found a vet, you started antibiotics and steroids, which is so helpful, and you are not giving up on him. Keep that hope up. Giving subcutaneous fluids can be helpful for hydration when they won’t drink. It really helped my Amelia. Try the beer and sweet potato recipe. It really helps as well. Amelia Bedelia got really bad before turning the corner. Keep strong for him and give him the best shot at beating this. Amelia almost succumbed to listeriosis about three years ago but thankfully she found some fight in her and made a full recovery. She has had two successful pregnancies since, raised up five kids and continues to provide us with milk. I truly hope your male goat will fight this off and go on to live a great life. I know it’s hard right now, if you want to talk, email me through my website’s contact page. Take care.
How brave and strong you and your family are.
When I started thumbing through your videos, I noticed that I was already subscribed to your channel. I don't normally comment. So when I get too much, just say. More people need this information❣️
Thank you for your kind words. We appreciate you reaching out. Our hope is that this video, as hard as it was to make, will help other people and their sick goat. Thank you for watching and for subscribing. We really appreciate the support ❤️
Your video is spot on (info. , Presentation , everything) your perspective seems to be realistic. your video is definitely valid information on several levels even showing the actual symptoms occurring in your goat as they happen just makes your video more valid this is one of the types of videos that goat owners need watch because the problem you had might be preventable to begin with if they watched your video. Thanks glad i watch your video even though never had that problem and now i might never have that problem because of this video
+fliptrip360 Thank you so very much. That was the hardest video I have ever had to make. I am happy to see that the information is being spread so more goats can survive this terrible disease. I just took a sample of the video and made it into a UA-cam short in the hopes that more people will see that it is treatable, if you treat the symptoms aggressively with antibiotics as soon as possible. I hope you never encounter listeriosis with your goats. It is heartbreaking to watch them suffer. The recovery is difficult and long but is so worth it to see your goat get through it. Amelia Bedelia is doing great and after everything we went through together she is very attached to me. Happy Holidays.
@@justonemorestoryfarm definitely good to hear thanks happy holidays
+fliptrip360 Thank you
Thanks very much for this video I'm treating my goat with your video may GOD bless you, you brought hope in me thank you thank you again ❤
I am so happy to hear Amelia Bedelia’s story brings you hope. I pray your goat will get through this difficult illness. Stay strong. If you have any questions along the way, please reach out. My email is yannick@justonemorestoryfarm.com
We lost our male to that went through the same thing….. thank you for the treatment
+Asmile4don You are very welcome. I am so sorry for your loss. I just posted Amelia Bedelia’s medication doses and frequency, in the description below the video, in the hopes that it will help with future cases of listeriosis in goats. I was talking with my veterinarian the other day at my goats annual health check and she feels the early dosing of Penicillin G along with the twice daily administration of fluids subcutaneously helped Amelia Bedelia to survive. I hope you never have to see another goat go through that again but if you do, please know I am here for you.
I have a Boer down with it now, first symptoms were circling and she went down, vet immediately said listeria and began thiamine and penicillin injections, completely immobile and stiff, propped her up in a tub in my basement, no movement for 30 hours, Greek yogurt every 4 hours or so, on day 4 she started gaining energy and mildly walking, day 5 completely able to eat and drink and walk on her own, certainly not stable, but she is certainly coming around and light years better than she was the previous day, 50lbs or so 6ccs of penicillin twice a day and 5ccs of thiamine once a day, vet charged around 100$ for the meds and needles, never saw the goat.
It’s amazing what these animals can go through and I urge anyone going through it to stick with it and do your best
I’m sorry your goat got sick but I am so happy to hear she is coming around. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. It is not easy to see your goat sick but you caught it early and got her the medication she needs. She is so fortunate to have you. I hope she makes a full, speedy recovery.
Thank you for making this video. I am on day 5 with my goat. He is drinking liquid food, peeing and pooping, but unable to hold his head up at all yet or move much. If you hadn’t made this video, I may be close to giving up, but knowing that it just could take more time and patience, I am staying hopeful. So thank you! And cheers to Amelia Bedelia!
+Bio Child Thank you for reaching out. I’m sorry your goat is sick. I pray he makes a full recovery. Stay hopeful and support him as best you can. My vet was just at my farm the other day and we were discussing Amelia Bedelia’s recovery.
The medication she received when she was sick with listeriosis was Dexamethasone 1 ml given once on the first day of her illness, Banamine 0.6 mls subcutaneously every 12 hours, B vitamins 4mls sq every 12 hours, 5 mls of Pennicillin G intramuscularly every 12 hours, oxytet 4.5 mls sq once every two days and one liter of fluids (Lactated ringer solution) subcutaneously every day. The fluids under her skin really helped perk her up and keep her hydrated when drinking liquid food and water was difficult and tiring for her. I gave her 500 mls of fluid under her skin twice daily.
I am happy to hear your goat is drinking liquid food. Amelia enjoyed her sweet potato, molasses and beer combination. Since she couldn’t chew hay, giving her alfalfa pellets that had soaked in water helped substitute for hay. She wasn’t able to eat her sweet feed well so I gave her Quaker instant oats instead that I added water and warmed in the microwave. Since this was not her normal diet I also supplemented with vitamins (Nutri drench plus for goats) to make sure she was getting what she needed. Since her rumen also would be thrown off with the antibiotics and the feed changes, I also supplemented with goat probiotics (Goats prefer probiotic plus paste).
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. Please let me know how his recovery goes.
Sincerely,
Yannick
@@justonemorestoryfarm Thank you Yannick! You’re the reason I had hope. Today, I almost can’t believe it, but Squash was sitting up. When I got closer, he stood up and started stumbly walking around! I’m awestruck and so happy. I think he’s going to make a full recovery 🥹😭😍❤️🐐
+Bio Child You are so very welcome. I am so happy to hear he is getting better! Squash is a fighter and he can beat this. Great job encouraging him and taking care of him. Keep your hopes up, shower him with attention and love. Short walks with a towel under his belly for support will help get his leg muscles moving again. Keep up those fluids and treatment. You’ve got this! ❤️
I am dealing with a goat with Listeriosis right now. I found her Monday morning, down with her head twisted back. Contacted my vet, he told me to administer antibiotic and the B complex. I have been drenching her with electrolytes watered down and added a little Red Cell. Going to town today to get the Nutri Drench. Encouraged that when I checked on her this morning that she was still breathing. Since I did not have a vet visit her treatment is much cheaper. Still praying she recovers.
I am so sorry that your goat is fighting listeriosis. My heart goes out to you both. That’s great that you were able to administer antibiotics and B complex. Keep that up along with drenching her. Encourage her to eat what she can. Soaked and mashed alfalfa pellets worked well for Amelia Bedelia and when she needed a boost I gave her one cooked sweet potato, blended with one can of beer, one cup of water and a quarter cup of molasses. She seemed to really enjoy that. Do your best to massage her, get her up and moving if possible and if she can’t stand then move her legs for her to keep her muscles going. She can beat this, just keep up the meds, the feedings, drenching, heft her limbs moving several times a day. Recovery is long but it’s so worth it. Amelia Bedelia is continuing to do great. Please keep me updated and reach out with any questions.
@@justonemorestoryfarm Thank you. If I had not seen your video I might have given up on her. I am posting daily updates about her on my channel. She is swallowing liquids at this point, so that is what I am giving her. I try to get to her every hour. We are not a drinking family so I don't have beer easily available. Is there a particular kind that would be better for her? I found what is called Power Punch that has everything the Nutri drench has plus fat and protein. That is what I am giving her now. The vet said to do the antibiotics and B complex for just 3 days. Do you think it might help if I continued it? I do have alfalfa pellets and beet pulp. As soon as I think she can handle swallowing something a little thicker I will offer her some, soaked of course.
You are so very welcome. I just saw your message and went and checked out your channel. You did such a wonderful job nursing Joy back to health. The updates were so nice where you showed her progression. You are going to help so many people with your videos on how you helped Joy. I was so sad to see your last video about Joy. I am so deeply sorry for you r loss. She was doing so well, lifting her head. You gave her the will to live with all your love and support. I am confident with how she was progressing and all the love and support that you gave her that she would have beat listeriosis. I am so sorry that predator took her away from you. She knows how much you love her and she was so lucky to have you. My deepest sympathies on your loss.
@@justonemorestoryfarm Thank you very much. That is my hope, that even though Joy's victory was stolen from her, that maybe her story would help someone else. I know your video gave me the encouragement to try.
@@HoneyHollowHomestead Thank you for your kind words. I am sure Joy's story has helped many others and will continue to. Thank you for sharing MooMoo's story as well. I am so sorry for your loss of MooMoo. I am sure MooMoo's story will help others as well and share the importance of a necropsy. It is not easy sharing such a painful event but it does help so much. My thoughts are with you during this sad time. Take care ♥
Thank You! I needed this video❤
You are so very welcome! I am so happy to hear it has helped you.
Thank you so much for making this video. My sweet girl is fighting for her life right now. We are on day 3 and she’s standing on her own, also acknowledging us and calling out to us. Her facial paralysis is still bad but we are continuing with the penicillin shots and vitamin b shots. This video gave me hope to keep fighting for her, thank you so much. We are hoping and praying she pulls through. How long did you continue with her penicillin shot after her symptoms went away?
I am so sorry your goat is sick. I hope she makes a full recovery. That is great that she is still standing and she has so much support from you. For Amelia Bedelia, my goat’s veterinarian recommended 5 mls of Pennicillin G intramuscularly every 12 hours until improvement seen. She said you are not to exceed four days of penicillin g but I chose to go off-label and continued it, for I believe 7 days. I hope that helps and I wish you and your sweet girl all the best.
@@justonemorestoryfarm thank you so much! Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since we started the treatment for my Zoey girl. She’s doing so much better already, we are just waiting for her jaw to regain movement. I never gave up hope thanks to your video, so thank you again.
I am going through this right now, I been trying so hard to keep alive. It all started last Saturday, in the video your video your goat was down. Mine was never down, he is 8 months old and has been treated by a vet. We got Nuflor into him as soon as I notice he was not right he had his togue out and chewed up hay all over his month. It has been 4 days no improvement, vet came and got fluids into him. She is coming back today to do the same. I do not want to lose him. She told after a week no improvement to put him down. When did you decided to keep going. When did you see some normalcy? I been doing the recipe you recommended he seems to like it but not sure it is just leaking back out of his month. Thank you for the hope and making this video. Trying to be hopeful for Christmas miracle.
+Philip Eckel I am so sorry to hear your goat is sick. It’s really promising that you caught his symptoms early and got him treated right away. Day four was the worst day for Amelia. She was doing very poorly, not eating or drinking at all. The vet recommended euthanasia but I wanted to keep trying to save her. I gave her the sweet potato recipe which seemed to give her some energy. By day five, I noticed some improvement and she called out to me. She couldn’t lift her head but she was not as weak. On day five, I gave her nutri drench and a probiotic paste. Each day after that she gradually got better. She started to walk again 12 days from the start of treatment.
Amelia Bedelia’s Listeriosis treatment:
Dexamethasone 1 ml given once on the first day of her illness.
Banamine 0.6 mls subcutaneously every 12 hours.
B vitamins 4mls sq every 12 hours.
Pennicillin G 5 mls intramuscularly every 12 hours.
Oxytet 4.5 mls sq once every two days.
Lactated ringer solution 1 liter of fluids subcutaneously every day. (500 mls of fluid under her skin twice daily).
Feed and supplements:
Sweet potato and beer combo (recipe below)
Alfalfa pellets soaked in warm water
Quaker Instant Oats cooked in warm water
Nutri drench Plus for goats
Goats Prefer Probiotic Plus paste
On day five, when she called out to me and I saw that she had decided she wanted to fight for her life is when I decided to keep going. As for normalcy, it was a gradual process. Her gait got better gradually over a couple weeks. Her head tilt took the longest to recede but it didn’t seem to bother her. It’s been a year and a half since she got sick. She’s doing great. She had her annual exam last month and the vet said she looks great. She cleared her for breeding. She’s been bred and we are hopeful for some kids this April.
I hope you get your Christmas miracle. Keep supporting him like you have been doing, keep up with getting daily fluids into him (my vet gave me lactated ringer solutions so I could give Amelia fluids twice daily under her skin for about ten days)and keep encouraging him to eat. It is possible for him to beat this so please don’t give up. He is so lucky to have you taking such good care of him. If you have any other questions, I am happy to help.
@@justonemorestoryfarm Thank you for getting back to me, it means a lot to me. I so your message this morning and wanted to have time to sit down and write you back. This has been worst experience since owning goats for 7 years. The killer for me is that I brough Mason into the world on May 5, 2021, he was one of 4 and the only survivor and it was touch and go, but he did great and was growing like a weed. He brought me such joy and seeing him every day was a joy, watching him grow up. I have 5 other goats, but I have the bond with Mason. This is why it is killing me to see him like this.
The thing with Mason was never down he has always been standing, his thing is he cannot chew his food, he wants to eat, but it seems his brain doesn't let him chew. My vet is hopeful, but I want to see him eat on his own. He puts hay in his month but cannot chew. He drinks water I use a syringe to get the sweet potato recipe into him. The vet will be here in the Am to tube him to get alfalfa into him and more shots. I put a chair in the stall to sit and feed him with the syringe and he jump up with his front legs which I was surprised. I just keep hoping and praying. I was lucky that the morning of last Saturday Dec 17th I called vet and got her out for an emergency call I was lucky got antibiotic into him so hopefully caught it before he would have of had gotten worst. But your video gave me hope.
But I will tell you my nerves are shot, this has taken a toll on me too. When did your goat start chewing hay normally? If I can get there I will feel so much better. But I will keep trying and moving forward tomorrow is another day. And I am keeping hopeful. Thank you for doing video he gave me hope. My own vet did not give as much hope as you did. So thank you!
By the way I have a goat name Amelia too
+Philip Eckel I am glad you reached out. It is such a hard thing to watch your goat suffering. Mason sounds like a fighter though. That’s amazing that he survived out of his three siblings when the odds were stacked against him. Amelia Bedelia wasn’t able to chew her food during the first week of her illness. By around the fifth day she started slurping some liquids down. I believe it was around the eighth day or so that she made chewing motions. It was a gradual process for her to get full chewing function back. It is wonderful to hear that he was able to jump up on you for his syringe feeding. That’s promising! You are doing a great job! Keep supporting him like you’ve been doing and hopefully with time Mason will be back to his old self. For Amelia Bedelia her jaw function came back sooner than her legs were able to function. Mason didn’t lose function in his legs so maybe his jaw function will take a bit longer to recover like it was for Amelia’s legs. Hang in there. I understand the stress you are feeling and it is incredibly hard to go through. There is hope for Mason so just keep holding onto that hope.
+Philip Eckel It’s a great name 😃
Thank you very much for making this video. ☺️
You’re very welcome. This was the most emotionally difficult video to make and I had to take a break halfway through but I am glad I was able to get it out there. Hopefully it will help others. Thank you for your kind words. Take care.
Dammm girl you have a good heart to good to be a farmer
Thank you for watching and reaching out. I sure do get attached to my farm animals. It’s always hard when they get sick.
This is an awesome video.
I have a goat battling listeria right now. We are 7 days in and doing the same supportive care. Only difference is we are doing subQ fluids as well because we noticed he was tenting.
How long was your antibiotic treatment?
I am so sorry to hear your goat is battling listeria. I hope he makes a full recovery. 7 days is really promising! Great job taking care of him. Below is how I treated my goat.
Amelia Bedelia’s Listeriosis treatment:
Dexamethasone 1 ml given once on the first day of her illness.
Banamine 0.6 mls subcutaneously every 12 hours.
B vitamins 4mls sq every 12 hours.
Pennicillin G 5 mls intramuscularly every 12 hours.
Oxytet 4.5 mls sq once every two days.
Lactated ringer solution 1 liter of fluids subcutaneously every day. (500 mls of fluid under her skin twice daily).
Feed and supplements:
Sweet potato and beer combo (recipe below)
Alfalfa pellets soaked in warm water
Quaker Instant Oats cooked in warm water
Nutri drench Plus for goats
Goats Prefer Probiotic Plus paste
My vet said Pennicillin g should not be used for more than four consecutive days but with how sick Amelia was we chose to extend it until we saw noticeable improvement which was about 7 days. The fluids definitely seemed to help Amelia since it was difficult for her to eat and drink. That’s great that you are able to provide subcutaneous fluids. The recovery process was definitely gradual for Amelia but now she is healthy and happy. She went on to have two beautiful kids this past spring. She did have a head tilt for at least a year after getting listeriosis but her muscles healed and she no longer has a head tilt. Thank you for your kind words and I hope your goat wins the battle. Definitely reach out if you have any other questions or worries. I know how hard it is with a really sick goat.
Hello, I’m a 15 year old who got really worried after my goat started acting really odd. I searched the symptoms and found that it matches the same symptoms as listeriosis, right now is day 2 she’s not looking much better we have gotten 2 vets out and had injections given. Do you have any suggestions?
Thankyou so much for giving me the chance to listen to your story it helped me identify what was happening. If I hadn’t seen this video I don’t think she would have made it to the morning.
Again Thankyou
I just lost my bottle babies son to listeriosis yesterday. Lost his brother edward the month before. I noticed Edward's brother acting a little off he was being kinds standoffish several days beforehand. I should have started treatment right then and there while he was still active and he might still be alive. Did you always give your injections IM? They say SUB Q is the best way. I did sub but I'm not comfortable with it. Thank you for making this video. It gives hope they can be saved. My vet says they can't be saved.
I am so sorry Robert for your loss of Edward and his brother. That is heartbreaking. Honestly, every veterinarian I talked to about listeriosis in goats felt the chances of a goat surviving listeriosis was slim. It is a fast acting bacterial disease. If I didn’t have penicillin g in my fridge already and had I waited to give it my Amelia Bedelia she likely would not have survived. However, it’s a very scary situation to be in when your goat is so sick and you don’t want to give them medicine that could make them worse. Of course a veterinarian will want to evaluate your goat first before advising any treatment. In my case, finding a veterinarian on call was very difficult and the one I found was on another emergency and could not come to my farm right away which is why I chose not to wait. I gave the penicillin g in her muscle each time because that was the directions on the bottle. When the emergency veterinarian came she said to continue giving it as an intramuscular injection. According to my primary goat veterinarian, even with early treatment most goats do not survive Listeriosis. She had never seen a goat survive it until Amelia Bedelia. I was given the option to hospitalize Amelia Bedelia to try to save her but was cautioned that even with the best care she would likely succumb to the disease. After going through that I started trying to learn how to make UA-cam videos in the hope that Amelia Bedelia’s story would help others. The research and statistics available on Listeriosis is very disheartening. I am so sorry you lost your goats but I hope you can take comfort in knowing that you loved them and gave a great life bottle feeding them and raising them up. I now make sure when I am composting that it’s behind two fences to keep the goats away. My bottle of penicillin g in the fridge is going to expire next month so I am going to get a replacement. Hopefully, we will never have to encounter Listeriosis again but if we do we will be prepared with pennicillin g, more knowledge on the subject and hope. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
What if you think your goats have been exposed? Can you start them on pen g before they start showing any signs? Ive searched Google and can't find any answers on that. I'm worried about there momma. My bottle baby Bella. It would kill me if something happened to her. I've been watching her closely. Bellas son that died 2 days ago started laying down alot even before he started showing any hard symptoms. That's what I'm looking for in Bella and the others.
+Robert Copeland I felt the same way with my other goat Fancy Nancy when Amelia Bedelia got sick. I was worried she had been exposed as well. I watched her closely but since she didn’t exhibit any unusual behavior I did not treat her. Had she acted the slightest bit out of character I would have gave her a penicillin g injection. I hope Bella and your other goats did not get exposed and will continue to do well. The first thing I noticed with Amelia was that she distanced herself from me and Fancy Nancy which was out of character for her. You know your goats so just follow your instincts on whether they are not themselves.
There was another today that was acting off. She would usually run away from me but she just stood there with her head kinda flanked back like she was stargazing. I touched her she run tried to hide and she was kinda shaking. Looked like she was caught out in the rain.i brought her in the house Checked her temp it was 103. As a precaution I give her 2cc of pen g and 3 cc of vitamin b complex with thiamine. She's circled a few times since I've had her in the house. I called my vet and told her about it. She won't prescribe draxxin or banamine unless she sees her. I'm sure just to get the charge for the office visit. I told her that I was concerned about inhalation pneumonia because the other 2 got it. I do have some left over meloxicam that I put in a syringe with some electrolytes to dissolve it and give it to her. So far she's still eating and drinking. Like I told my vet either she's sick or I'm just paranoid but I think she was acting off. I have to set my alarm to wake up at 3am to give her 3rd round of pen g. It's 11:10 here in Tennessee now. I give her 2nd round of pen and vitamin b complex with thiamine at 9. I don't feel good about trying to go through her neck for an I'm shot. I've been doing it through her rear leg. I tried the neck area and I couldn't get the needle through. I made her cry out. The leg seems less painful.
I had to buy more pen g myself. I had to drive 30 miles to get it. That tsc only had one. I couldn't find it local.
Hello, a week ago my neighbor had a kid born extremely weak, not able to lift head or stand or stay upright etc. I offered to care for her in hopes that with constant care she would be able to get strong and be a normal goat. I found your video and was extremely surprised to see your girl, at her worst, look exactly like my baby kid. Would you have any advice for my kid? Oh and also it looks like she may have lost her eye sight. 😢😢😢
I am so sorry to hear your neighbors kid was born extremely weak. I’ll attach Amelia’s treatment and supplements here in the hopes that something will help with the poor baby.

@@justonemorestoryfarm thank you for your response. The baby passed on Christmas day. I believe she had neurological problems. She was my sweet Angel.
@@fishcake46 I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet Angel. You were able to comfort her in her time of need and I am sure that meant the world to her. It is devastating to lose a goat and my heart goes out to you. I hope you are doing well and I wish you all the best.
What dosage of the penicillin procaine and for how long??
Thank you for reaching out. My goat’s veterinarian recommended 5 mls of Pennicillin G intramuscularly every 12 hours until improvement seen. She said you are not to exceed four days of pennicillin g but I chose to go off label and continued it for I believe 7 days. I hope that helps.

I hope your goat pulls through. Stay strong.
my goat had some illness and I treated her with penicillin but now she doesn't know how to eat or drink. anyone have any ideas? I love my baby goat and I don't want to put her down.
Hi Laurel. Thank you for reaching out. Can you give us more details as to how she was acting before you gave her the penicillin? Also, when you say she doesn’t know how to eat or drink, do you mean that her jaw doesn’t open and close or is she not showing any interest in food? With my goat, listeriosis caused paralysis in her jaw so she couldn’t physically eat or drink so I had to help get food and water into her by making puréed foods and syringe feeding her food and water. We will do our best to figure this out together. Please don’t put her down.
Vet gave my peanutbutter a coin flip. She's on day 2, iv, penicillin and thiamine.
I am so sorry to hear Peanutbutter is sick. Thankfully you were able to get medicine from a vet. Peanutbutter is so lucky to have you and I hope your goat makes a full recovery. I know how scary it can be when they get sick. Stay strong for Peanutbutter ❤️
@@justonemorestoryfarm Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately she didn't make it past day 3. Maybe if I'd had penicillin on hand like you did, but unfortunately it was hours before I was able to get her seen.
I wish I knew what she ate. There's nothing she had access to that was molded or gross.
