Therapeutic management of osteodystrophia fibrosa in early weaned Malabari male goat kids.

Osteodystrophia fibrosa is a metabolic disease of goats resulting from the insufficient mineralization of bones, excessive bone resorption, and improper bone development, leading to subsequent accumulation of the fibrous connective tissue. This report describes the successful therapeutic management of acute osteodystrophia fibrosa in early-weaned goat kids by following a medical protocol. Three Malabari male goat kids of forty days old from two different litters of the same farm were presented with spontaneous, bilaterally symmetrical, non-inflammatory facial swelling, protruded tongue, prominent eyeballs, frothy drooling saliva, diarrhoea, and inanition due to the inability in mastication or suckling for the last two weeks.
