What can I do about my pregnant goat having trouble walking?

Answer by  eiryck (847)

The best thing to do when you have this kind of situation is first to let a vet see the goat to have a more clear explanation about it and possible solutions. If no vet is available, then it would be good to let the pregnant goat have a comfortable place with food and water.

If she is about to give birth than it is best to try to make her as comfortable as possible. It maybe wise to put her in a stall or pen to help stay off her feet but only if she is due soon.

Take the goat to the vet since there could be a multitude of reasons that the goat could be having trouble walking and if not properly taken care of fast than the pregnacy could be terminate and the animal could die. It could be a broken leg or something much worst.

It can be normal for an animal to have trouble when she is pregnany. My best advice is to place the goat in a comfy area with food,water,and a place for her to keep warm. This will allow her to be comftorable,until she has her babies. Also,this will be alot less stressful for you.

While you may want to check with the vet, most likely the best think you can do for your goat is set up her enclosure so she has to walk as little as possible until the kids are born. Keep her food and water close together and in a sheltered location.

A pregnant goat having a hard time walking is a serious problem, it could be a stroke. There is no sure way to see the problem, maybe it has gained too much weight and can;t manuver itself as before. Careful supervision of the animal is a must,make sure it has the proper food and vitamins it needs.
