i know this is a cattle board, but i have a problem with the PET goat of our place, and was hoping someone could help me out..
i have a 3yr old wether that got both of his front legs hung up in the split of 2 oak trees growing out of the same trunk. he hung there all night and was lodged in pretty tight.. now he cannot stand on them at all.. and they are swollen some.. he was hung just above the knees at about 30" high off the ground.
our vet said only time would tell whether nerve damage was done.. and to maybe give him some penicillin in case of any infection. he is in pain when we try to pick him up or try to put him in a sling for a little while.
i am open to any suggestions any of you might have. my wife bottle raised this goat and i get in trouble before he does..
thanks
