Goat emergency

[Birdsong 82]

When I was out replenishing the goat hay this morning one of my goats wouldn’t even come out of the shelter, which usually he’s the first one out, and he can barely walk like he’s with his legs apart, and just keep standing and staring in the distance with his head tilted and shakes every once in a while But he is off and he’s worrying me really bad
He’s about five years old Nigerian mix

I’m waiting for vets to call me with an opening, but any thoughts in the meantime anybody?!

Vets are booked. I got a maybe this afternoon hopefully kind of think. He’s really worrying me though.

I know nothing about goats but look up the symptoms of goat polio. It might help

Thank you for your response. At least it’s something to look into to keep my mind busy while I wait for the vet. I finally got a callback and they can make it here between 12 and one. I just hope he hangs in there cause he’s really worry worrying me. He fits quite a few symptoms of polio. So thankfully, somebody can make it somewhat soon because it is curable. It’s killing me in the meantime.

My daughter is getting some pictures right now. I had to go inside to talk to the vet receptionist on the phone. But his stumbling is very strange as well so she’s going to send me a video of his stumbling and then some pictures of him as well, the pictures don’t show much, but it might show more than I realize
