URGENT CARE NEEDED: For some reason my young goat is blind, whats going on and whats the cure????

Question

so far, its been two days.

what makes matters worst is that the mother of the young goat is sick (as in feverish) and wouldnt eat. did the young goat somehow you think got it from her mom by sucking her nipples??? help me plzz!

Answer 1

There are a couple reasons why a goat could go blind.  Did the eye get scratched some how?  Does baby have pinkeye?

As for mama being sick.  If the doe has mastitis, then yes, the baby could get sick from sucking off of her.  Take baby off of mom, and bottle feed it.

Your best bet is to call a vet, ASAP!

Answer 2

Veterinarian is needed asap. You can try home remedies but no time. I had a goat with pinkeye that her eyes clouded over and was temporarily blind for a few days. Combi-Pen injections fixed her. Try goat polio or listeriosis. Try web link below
