On Friday, Pinkie will ill. I found her in the morning unwilling to get up. She had been vomiting and was not interested in eating any food. I decided to call the vet who checked her over in the afternoon. It seems she had eaten something toxic, though what, we don't know. She was given an antibiotic and vitamin injection.
I'm pleased to say she recovered by the end of the day when she happily ate handfuls of carrots.

Monitor the elder consumption. Elder is very tasty and contains compounds that will cause nausea so the animal stops and doesn't eat too much. It stops the tree from being overbrowsed. Elder also contains lots of healthy immune boosting properties so that will benefit the goats. Sheep deliberately eat some of it when they feel a bit poorly or need an insecticide.
