I have a friend whose almost five month old nigerian doe kid has been having recurrent fevers and going off feed, kind of lethragic. The vet gives her antibiotics and she bounces back. Any idea of what's going on here and do you think it's something she'll outgrow? This goat is extremely well cared for, all shots, wormed, good diet, etc.

What are you giving her, and for how long? The only time we have had a fever show back up we got it the second round. Maybe one of others has seen it.
