If my goat has a cough, can I treat it with garlic?

Yes you can treat your goat's cough with garlic. It won't work but go ahead. A cough is indicitive of either throat irritation or fluid in the lungs. Garlic as a remedy is useless.

While some may give some credit to homeopathic or folk remedies, most goat owners rely on trained veterinarians for medical advice. Feeding your goat garlic may affect the taste of the milk, and if the cough gets worse, you should seek proper veterinary care for your animal.

Coughing in goats usually comes from 4 causes: choking, lack of vitamin a, allergies, or infection. It is best to have a vet determine the cause of the cough.
