Elsa - meningeal worm

[reedrover]

Of course problems always come up when you can't get help... Elsa is likely dealing with a slow-moving but deadly infestation. From the vet

It's scary, but it's not immediately fatal. She's probably been sick for weeks, and it will take weeks to kill her. The problem is the long-term damage to her nervous system.

Thanks. The vet is drop-shipping the two meds to me, so as soon as the roads clear (tomorrow? maybe?) I can pick them up from the post office.

Good thoughts are nice...

Thinking good thoughts!

I hope the medicine gets to the goat quickly and she gets better soon!

Thank you. We can stop the damage, but reversing it is going to be a long, slow healing that could take years.

Oh no! Fingers crossed for you.
