Baby Goat Born With Bent Legs and How to Fix It

#thegoatguy #packgoats #babygoats
Marc Warnke, "The Goat Guy," at Packgoats.com explains why baby goats that are born in multiples may have bent legs. This is Patty born on St. Patrick's Day, one of Girlfriend's triplets. Patty was born with bent legs. This can be fixed on its own. It will take a couple of weeks to get her stronger. Don't panic. Some use a splint like a toilet paper roll, but every feeding stretch out the tendons. Keep watch, it is a normal thing in multiple births. Hope you find this helpful.

This gives me such hope!! We rescued a sweet triplet girl yesterday. She is only a few hours old but has weak, bent back legs and the mom could not feed all three. I am hoping with enough therapy and time this will correct itself. I am already in love with my Gracie!! Thank you for this very encouraging video.

Today our goat gave birth to twin kids and one of them has bent hind legs. Thanks for your advice and reassurance not to panic

[@angem5844]

Aww Patty is adorable! Hope she is up on her feet asap. All the best from downunder (Australia) to Mark and crew. Thanks for your really informative videos, love them!

[@PackGoatscom]

She's beautiful. Man, I'd freak out if I didn't know better. Goats needs their legs working properly in order to be their goaty selves. 🥰

[@artofwar420]

That’s some good animal husbandry

[@user-ht7ku1qz9v]

Thank you. We had quads by c section and 2 have bend back hooves

[@brigittalednyiczky3304]

Thanks for the video❤ My first goats just born yesterday and one of them has bend front legs. She is my favourite, I was worried.

[@THEinSEnDeaieri]

Awwwhhhh gooooooat.

[@snipe757]

She's a cutie. Betting she'll straighten up soon. Looks pretty good otherwise. Wouldn't mind seeing an explanation of conformation to look for in those early days of life.

[@liznorman4739]

I currently have a goat with severely bowlegged front legs who we splinted for a week. To me he is worse. Wondering if we should continue to splint or cast and what the long term out come is. Too smitten with him now of course.

[@moemcguire]

Do you bring the kid inside to bottle feed? Our doeling has a really hard time get up and down, so I have her inside. Initially, she was cold and shivering and pretty lethargic. A few good bottles, and she is much better. I appreciate any help. ps I have splinted puppies. (We breed mastiffs)

[@brianphilbrook5262]

Hey mark my doe finally kidded and all was well to start but now I have a kid that will only walk on his front knees. First he couldn’t nurse because he wouldn’t get down but now he’s learned how to nurse and won’t get back up. You had that?

[@PackGoatscom]

I have not had a kid that would not get up, hard for me to say what’s going on from here, feel free to call me at 208-867-6675 if he doesn’t normalize in the next couple days

[@danielnorman8595]

I got a Nigerian pygmy that the back legs are going to stick out

[@dhakshinashilin9887]

Hey.. Sir.. My goat had got into a leg fracture.. And after curing that she can't stand... Seems like she got paralyzed.and then we noticed a thing that, her sacral vertebrae is in a different shape. There was a hump on there. And when we took an xray,posture of vertebral column in completely changed. Vet said that there is no such treatment available for this, but u can do physiotherapy. Sir do you know any kind of treatment like surgeries or anything from ur knowledge? 🥺pls rply sir

[@paulibug7260]

Is it too late to fix a 6 month old goats legs that are severely bowl legged (front and back)? Someone I know has a goat like this and says there's nothing that can be done. However, I'm wondering if splints can still be used.

[@PackGoatscom]

Boy. I don’t know. Sorry

[@mistiworld3992]

You just saved a baby goat Any tips for a frog style stand ?

[@PackGoatscom]

I’m sorry are you saying he is standing like a frog? If so, just support proper alignment with stretching the joints to proper position slow and steady over a week or so and support with toilet paper rolls and an ace bandage.

[@mistiworld3992]

@PackGoatscom yes a frog 😆 knees on the ground and back legs were weird like half squatting. Born yesterday, walking perfect today. Thanks

[@PackGoatscom]

@@mistiworld3992 great news.

[@allieblack5791]

Any help on back leg weekness?

[@PackGoatscom]

Give it time and give it a bose shot.

[@jonathanfutrell4384]

Have you had this happen with hind legs not extending?

[@PackGoatscom]

Yes. They will straighten out.

[@emilymelvin2062]

I just had babies born and one of my baby goats back legs is like extending forward like your baby goats front leg.. will that correct out to or does that need vet help.. she was just born today she can’t stand unless we help her. She takes a step her back leg hyper extends forward and bends at an odd angle

[@PackGoatscom]

It’ll straighten out in a few days. She was all bent up in there. I suggest u use a toilet paper roll and a light vet wrap to straighten it out and let her work it.

[@rockysvendsen7339]

What if they don't straighten out after 10 day of life? We have one whose legs go sideways.

[@PackGoatscom]

Boy. I’m not sure. Never dealt with one that severe.
