Need help from goat owners!

10 years ago

Yesterday, my two year old Pygmy goat doe had her first set of triplets, and our first set of triplets to have born on the farm. I noticed today that the little buck seems to have his front hooves turned inward to the other foot. He sort of "tip toes", or slightly picks his front hooves up higher, and walks quicker than the other two kids. I have heard of young kids having weak ankles, and in some cases, it being a deformation. Some caused by a deficiency in the mothers diet? Is there anything to give him orally, or by injection that will help him to walk correctly on his hooves, and not slightly angled on his hooves? Maybe some form of therapy, if that's possible?


Thank you in advance for advice! It would be highly appreciated to see what options are available.
