goat health questioon

I'm trying my hand at raising goats (been doing pretty good with my hens and rabbits). Picked up a Saanen and a LaMancha wethers to use as field goats. Love them to pieces! They are so much fun to watch their antics. I have had alittle trouble with the Saanen health-wise though. He has a swollen knee joint that the vet has drained and has taken a blood sammple to check for a virus that he used intials for ( I can't recall them at the moment). He's due back for a re-check in 2 weeks. But today he seems very lethargic and doesn't want to get up and move around much. He does... but not much. His appetite is down too. Do you think this is part of his ailment he's being checked for or could it be something else? Then Lamancha is fine but can tell he misses his buddy playing with him. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks. Cindy
