I would check with your vet on call and ask them as certain products can be toxic to different kinds of animals.

You may not have to use anything if the case isn't severe. However, if your case is severe antibiotics and udder salve can be used to help the situation. It is also important to be sure your goat is eating and drinking enough.

You can use gentian Violet on goats that have sore mouth disease. This helps dry up the blisters and helps healing. If the goat has a secondary bacterial infection antibiotics will be needed to clear up this infection. This disease has to run its course it takes about 3 to 4 weeks for it to pass.

Goats with sore mouths, could be something that they ate, or the constant chewing that they do. There are ointments that you could get from a vet to use, but usually the soreness tends to go away within a few days. If none of this works, you may want to think about changing or elimintating what is causing the soreness in them.

This is a highly contagious disease. Clean, clean, clean. Wear disposable gloves and isolate the infected animal to prevent spreading. Currently there is no viable treatment; it will generally clear up within a month. While the virus can remain on the animal's coat, gate posts etc. bath, disinfect,isolate.

Try some crisco mixed into their food source. The crisco will get distributed inside of their mouths and coat the sores. The oils in the crisco are good at moisturizing and clearing up skin conditions.
