Nubian Goat named Scotty (Caprine) Signalment 6.0 mo neutered male weighing 50.0 lb. Was in good health previously. Normal environment: barn. Patient Note [Note : Pet is healthy and no medications. Goats are wormed regularly. (by [initial] on Aug 06, 2011 at 03:12 PM)] Agent Exposure Roundup Weed And Grass Killer Ready To Use Plus Pump N Go Sprayer (observed agent id) Observed exposure occurred on Jul 30, 2011 at 12:00 PM CDT 4 hr (observed ). Exposure involved 0.0 Not App (not specific) orally. The exposure was accidental, and occurred at animal owner home. The agent was obtained from Other Retailer. The lot number was n/a. The expiration date was null. [Note : Pet owner calling because her goat could have possibly ingested some Roundup. The pet owner applied the product 7 days ago. Pet owner noticed this morning that the pet became week and did not want to get up. Pet owner stated that the pet was also vocalizing. Pet owner gave the pet Penicillin, Fenbendazole, and Pepto. Pet owner believes the pet is getting progressively worse. (by [initial] on Aug 06, 2011 at 03:12 PM)] Because the amount was somewhat consistent, the patient was considered to be at low risk of developing clinical signs. If signs develop, there is low risk that those signs will be life-threatening. [Note : With this exposure, we can see GI upset. As the plants that have been sprayed die, they do release sugars and become more palatable, so it would be possible that the goat has ingested a noxious plant that normally he would leave alone. (by [initial] on Aug 07, 2011 at 02:54 PM)] Clinical Status Weakness (Musculoskeletal) Begin: Aug 06, 2011 at 07:00 AM CDT Status: Moderate End: Aug 06, 2011 at 04:00 PM CDT Status: Death Vocalization (General Disorders) Begin: Aug 06, 2011 at 07:00 AM CDT Status: Mild End: Aug 06, 2011 at 04:00 PM CDT Status: Death Death (General Disorders) End: Aug 06, 2011 at 04:00 PM CDT Status: Death Potential Cause Roundup Weed And Grass Killer Ready To Use Plus Pump N Go Sprayer Because the time course was not consistent, the amount was somewhat consistent, and the findings were poorly consistent, this substance was considered to have doubtful likelihood of causing the clinical situation.
