https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/clinical-questions/16192/coughing-goatAdvice please from goat-y vets! I have a &#39;coughing goat&#39; to see tomorrow. I&#39;ve not spoken to the owners/farmer myself-have just been given a message to let me know-so I have no further information I&#39;m afraid! Hopefully it will be straightforward buten-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/101639?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 29 Nov 2013 11:15:34 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:d588f74a-3e23-4184-a9e0-ed2634504dedAlan Tevendale<p>Have you done a faecal worm egg count?&nbsp; Might be worthwhile.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/101589?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 28 Nov 2013 18:09:52 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:f98be27b-17ff-434b-9d7f-d2fdca3db8f4Hannah Wynne Richards<p>Prob something in past environment fortunately now absent</p> <p>Wynne</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/101518?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 27 Nov 2013 22:10:18 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:94a3619b-c706-4095-9fe1-d495a43261f5Nicola Cole<p>The goat didn&#39;t cough at all when I saw it! Nothing abnormal noted on clinical exam. The goat had very recently been acquired and the (reportedly very intermittent) cough settled over a few days with no further problems.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/101488?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 27 Nov 2013 10:16:10 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:6c76a5f8-b6fa-47b8-8a1d-8224850d0908mariette asselbergs<p>So what was the outcome?</p> <p>Mariette</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/96511?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:17:31 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:ea707ed5-60e7-42ff-ab97-ee4d022ddc8fHannah Wynne Richards<p>Mouldy hay/straw,echinococcus ( depending on area )</p> <p>Wynne</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/96488?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 25 Aug 2013 12:55:06 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:29bd9efe-364c-4cbd-b4b2-fcf42f5baa2escatty<p>Hi there,</p> <p>From my notes, some advice from David Harwood and John Matthews: (and even they admit there is very little information available on the causes of respiratory disease in goats!)</p> <p>-Manheimia haemolytica and Pasteurella multocida are undoubtedly the major pathogens in UK. Often a problem with goats returning from shows during the summer &#39;Post show flu&#39; (or any other trigger factors to do with stocking density and ventilation etc).</p> <p>&nbsp;- May be related to use of multivalent Pasteurella vaccines - avoid combined Pasteurella/Clostridial vaccines&nbsp; - use each vaccine separately.</p> <p>- Worth bearing in mind TB?!</p> <p>As you say, the cause may not be infectious though. You might get some other clue on the clinical exam for the individual, the rest of the herd (if applicable) and history? </p> <p>If the goat is quite bright in itself , then the condition might resolve with symptomatic treatment (antibiotics, anti inflammatories etc). Worth warning the owner these are not licensed specifically for goats in the UK.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/96479?ContentTypeID=1Sat, 24 Aug 2013 20:34:31 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:9ec001aa-a691-4d0f-951f-d27836c880c6Nicola Cole<p>Sorry for the lack of line spacing-I set it up with bullet points and everything but just found out IPads then post it as one block!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
