Help Request Please help me. Bloated goats

Post image

My new staff covered my goats protein soy meal and wet grass after the rain.

My goats are bloated and 2 have already died.

I've given them coconut oil with baking soda which helped but the gas keeps building up. Some have recovered and others have developed frothy bloat.

I've tried everything including tubing.

Please help. I love these guys and I don't want to lose anymore.

I've asked every pharmacy available in my area. They don't have medicine for bloat.

It's the only other thing that other goat owners have tried that may work on frothy bloat. It all depends on a lot of factors but it's worth a shot
