What are the symptoms of ppr

PPR usually starts with high fever, dullness, and loss of appetite. Then you may see watery eyes, nose discharge, coughing, foul-smelling mouth sores, and loose motion that can turn very bad and watery. The goat may become weak, stop eating, and get dehydrated fast. In young kids, it can turn serious very quickly. Keep the sick goat separate from the herd, give clean water and ORS, and keep the shed dry and warm. Do not mix it with healthy goats. If more than one goat is showing fever, mouth sores, or diarrhea, treat it as a herd problem and act fast. PPR spreads easily, so the healthy goats should be protected with annual vaccination. Treating this now costs far less than losing the animal or the whole group. If the goat is under three months old and has fever with cough or nasal discharge, get veterinary help within twenty-four hours. If you want, I can also tell you the PPR vaccine timing and prevention steps for your goats.
