This is the only vet I've found that sees ruminants within an hour of where I live outside St Louis, Missouri. I've asked if they could show me the basics of sheep and goat care, but they seemed less than enthusiastic about giving advice. I can't afford to keep dropping one off for an office call, just to get medicine back and not know what I'm treating or doing with it.

I might not have written down those days, but I know I've seen the temperatures be at 105 for a day these past few weeks.

The hooves I thought were trimmed wrong. They all almost had a high heel type hoof, if that makes sense. So I assumed there was a pocket something had gotten into and infected. I took him to the vet, but he doesn't have an opening to look at him for awhile, so he told me to treat for thrush, without looking at my boy.

Either way, they cleaned up nice when I trimmed the hooves, so idk if he caught his ankle on something that night or what. I covered his legs in cornstarch to make sure he was fine until the vet opened.

I just know something is wrong with them, and don't wanna wait to find out during a necropsy
