A goat just rammed into my leg really hard, and now it's bleeding. It's pretty painful, so I'm wondering what I should do. Should I get some kind of injection or are there specific meds I need to take?

I'm sorry to hear about your injury. Clean the wound with mild soap and water, apply an antiseptic, and cover it with a sterile bandage. If the bleeding continues or if the goat wasn't vaccinated, its important to get a tetanus shot and possibly consult a doctor for further treatment.

Question

I'm having some pretty bad chest pain that seems to get worse whenever I eat or breathe deeply, and it's right in the middle of my chest. I recently used nitrous oxide whippits, and I'm worried it might be related. Could this be a side effect or something more serious? What should I do?

Question

So a couple of days ago, this dog lunged at me and tried to bite, but thankfully my jeans kept me safe. Like, there were no bites or scratches, just some bruising. I had my rabies shots and a tetanus shot back in January, and the doctor at the government hospital said I should be fine. But Im kinda worriedshould I just relax, or do I need to be more cautious?
