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.
