Youre the best im so grateful for your channel the “way” you deliver the info is so amazingly efficient fir my understanding like wikipedia easiest website for me to learn from yoyre the best youtuber for years now!!
You saved the life of my favorite goat. Our local Vet didn't have much experience and didn't have any idea what to do. He thought it was bad trimming, but the trimming was fine. So..... I watched your video, told him what medications to administer, and changed her completely off of grain. It took several weeks, but "Daisy" is jumping around like a spring-born kid. I can't thank you enough for posting this video.
oh my goodness this comment makes me so happy!!! thank you so much for letting me know :) yay daisy, and good on you for being her advocate
Hi Mike, would you mind very much if I used this as a testimonial for my online tutorials? I can use an anonymous name if you'd like :) I'm also looking for a few people to record a very short video with for testimonials, if there's any chance you'd be up for it ! No worries at all if not :)
Thank you it stopped❤
Thank you so much for the video! I’m a livestock farrier and trim roughly 1000 goats per year. I also just got into vet school and will be starting this fall. This video was very helpful and has helped me fine-tune my knowledge about laminitis in goats.
Question for you, have you noticed if any breeds have a predisposition for laminitis? In my experience, Nubians outnumber all other breeds in laminitis by about 10 to 1. Curious if you’ve noticed the same thing? I’m in the United States, so it may be a regional thing too?
Hi Nick! Oh thats very interesting. I can't say I have noticed a breed difference to be honest. We have a pretty even mix of breeds in my area, including sanen, nubian and toggenburg, and dont thing I have noticed a big sway in one direction. Never kept data though :)
Thanks so much for your video. I’m in UK on meadows that flush up in the spring after rain. The vet didn’t spot it last year but different one has this year. I have a different area with no grass, mostly nettle, docs and shrubs is this ok? Will supply hay too, I only give hard feed in the winter. Also they have ‘clicking’ joints in the lower legs, could this be from the inflammation too?? (They were fully tested last year for trace elements and CAE).
I have a question. My vet cut my goats hoof and injured him where he was bleeding. This happened twice. Since then he’s been in pain walking on knees. What do I do?
how long ago was this?
Forgive didi.You have written the wrong form.
Does this also apply to sheep?
Not to the same extent. We do see laminitis in sheep, much more rarely, but usually due to things like direct trauma to the laminae, or over-weight-bearing (lame on the other foot, so all the weight going on the remaining on). They have evolved to eat predominantly pasture, so do fine with it. Goats have evolved to browse low quality feed, low hanging branches, long, poor-quality hay-like grass etc, so run in to these issues common when on lush grass.
can they still have dairy goat pellets or does that have too much grain as well?
If we are referring to the sudden (acute) laminitis that you see secondary to disease then yes, any goat could get it secondary to stomach inflammation (ruminal acidosis) if they ate a large amount at once, without being weaned on to it. But the chronic, long term laminitis that smoulders away and causes changes to the hoof, you would only see if it was an inappropriate amount of carb for the doe. so bucks or dry does being fed a milking ration, or a doe fed a ration that is in excess of her requirements for her level of production. But if fed appropriately for her life stage and production level, and having plenty of Fibre then she should be okay. Some of them don't read the text book, however :)
Need your help as my goat is on knee due to his hoof size is to big.. and can't stand up.. as feel too much pain due to the big hoof size, we do trim his hoof on every 15 days but no positive result.. need your kind advice .. how can I show you his pic or video??
If he can't stand he will definitely need to have a vet come out to see him. He will need pain relief and possibly therapeutic trimming if that is the issue. if the soles are very thick and deformed then it's not ad simple as trimming at the hoof wall every 2 weeks, he will need therapeutic trimming to get it shorter. but may also need xrays to determine where the bone is before taking too much back. regardless he will a vet in person and definitely pain relief to take care of his welfare. While you are waiting for your vet, watch the video if you haven't already, remove him from lush grass, and feed him hay, no pellets or sugary treats. give him nice soft, dry hay to stand on. but remember just because he has thick soles and possible long term laminitis doenst mean there may not be something else going on, either in addition, or another illness that has caused the flare up. I'm sorry I hang help more, so can't give specific advice without examining him in person, so my advice is he definitely needs a vet out as soon as possible.
My baby goat is 3 month befor he can jump runing here n there nowadays he cant walks his 4 legs joint knees was so soelling 8days already he sleeping he can eat drink but cant awkeup plz help
oh dear :( if its multiple joints it will be from an infection within the body. He would need antibiotics immediately and pain relief if he can't stand. watch the episode on joint I'll. but prepare yourself, 8 days is a very long time to be going on, and often irreversible by this point :( Euthanasia to end his suffering is usually the kindest option. but please do have a vet see him urgently, in case you live somewhere in the world with a disease that I'm not aware of
When a dairy doe in milk founders from to much grain, do you take them completely off grain or just cut back the amount?
you would ideally take them off it completely up the Fibre, ie hay. is she currently milking at the moment?
@@SeztheVet yes milking twice a day
Hey my goat is also having the same
Problem...at first we were confused wether she is having some legs problem....bt after 15 days of slow movement we were worried and called the vet...bt her hoof shape was abnormal from beginning...now vet has injected pain relief substances and we have trimmed her foot as well....plz tell me wether she would be able to walk as before or not...I am very tensed....
And in my country there is no such medical facilities of x raying foot for animal also
Hi Dilli. I am very sorry to hear that. If the problem is only laminitis then usually, in my experience, they can come right with time and regularly therapeutic trimming the get the hoof back to a normal shape. If the shape is perfect and she has had plenty of pain relief and is still not able to walk correctly, it may be tendons are too tight and next time and physiotherapy, or there may be something else going on. I am sorry I can't give any information without examing her myself in person :( All the best luck. I hope you have been left with ongoing pain relief if she is still uncomfortable
Thats okay. It isn't common for the bone in the foot to rotate (is is common in horses). So xrays are not usually necessary, only in very severe cases.
@@SeztheVet after injection of pain relief she could hardly get up but not more than 1_2 sec....and I could see swollen red area at the beginning of hoof...now what should be done to ease the pain...plz help
If she stand more than a second or two even with pain relief and you have gone through all the management changes for the laminitis (assuming that is the cause. ie remove from pasture, put on hay, no pellets, antiinflammatory pain relief, iceing the feet), and no improvement over a couple of days, then I would be recommending a euthenasia based on welfare grounds. But I really can't advise for an individual case, without having seen her. You'll need to talk that through with the vet managing the case :( REmember that when we see the red line around the laminae that is old hemorrage that is growing out. So sorry Dilli :(
Are you single? 😅
