Paralaphostrongylus tenius Strikes Again

J is very good at his job.  The other day he spotted one of the goats walking funny, dragging a rear leg.  
 This time it was Socks, one of our pet goats.  You can read about her start Here.
We got her to the barn, I dewormed her twice with 2 different products and gave her a short acting steroid for a few days.  After a week she is doing much better.  As soon as the other goats work themselves back near the barn I think we will turn her back out.  I think it helped that she was a pet so she hasn't been stressed staying in the barn and being worked with. 
I didn't take a video the first day.  This is yesterday, it still shows some neurological deficits.

    I checked out Socks original story - what a poor pitiful little thing crying out in the last picture of that first posting.

    What a good steward J is - always carefully watching the out for all the animals. Hopefully Socks will recover fully with your care.
