Injured goat

One of my goats, a 2 y.o. doe, got her head caught between fence slats in the barn. When I found her, her head was jammed between the slats, she was breathing heavily, and was on her knees on the milking stanchion with her hind feet on the ground. I had to break the board to release her. She then fell down, unable to stand properly. I gave her Arnica 200C and repeated every 15 minutes for 3 doses, and have seen some improvement, but she still has a lot of head-shaking and lack of balance and coordination. She will eat out of my hand (I suspect her greed got her into the predicament), but isn't really interested in hay, and I don't want her outside until she's better. I wondered if Conium might be useful in this case, or even Hypericum?

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
It appears that it has injured its nerves. I would suggest to give a dose of NATRUM SULPH 200c in the morning & one dose of HYPERICUM 200c in the evening for three days & watch for the improvement for a week. I suppose it will take some time to be normal.Do not try to force upon walking & let it take it's own time.

Thank you for your reply. What I finally did was give her Bryonia, as she didn't want to move, and wouldn't at all, in fact, I had to bring her water bucket to her. A while later she was somewhat improved, but still uncoordinated and unbalanced, so I gave her Conium. She finally lay down after 8 or 9 hours, and she's much improved this morning, even jumped up on the milk stand for her grain.

I will look up Nat Sulph and familiarize myself with that remedy. Thank you so much for your reply.
