SOREMOUTH
A common goat problem,
especially with nursing kids. The good news is that once a goat has
contracted it (usually for a couple of weeks), they never get it
again. The sores and eventual scabs usually form around the mouth,
eye lids and teats. The mouth sores inhibit eating so you must give
special attention to individually feeding the ones that won't eat on
their own. Treat the sores by cleansing and applying an antibiotic
ointment or better yet, Dr. Naylor Udder Balm (#20G), that wonderful
healing salve that's terrific for just about anything. There is a
"scratch type" vaccine for the prevention of soremouth in
goats that is both safe and effective when administered to young
kids. It's only available in 100-dose size but the time and expense
for treating the infection may make the vaccine worth buying.
