What is the name of that syndrome that neutralizes all muscles momentarily from stress?
Question by Jai: What is the name of that syndrome that neutralizes all muscles momentarily from stress?
The creature will usually fall over, I remember seeing a video of some goats or something which had gotten rather used to it, sometimes remaining on their feet in anticipation. It’s usually caused by stress.
Feel free to answer in the comment section below

Myotonic goats. They are also sometimes called Fainting goats, or Wooden Leg goats.
You want to look up the word, “myotonia” if you are interested in the condition.

P.S. It is the older goats which learn to have some control, and remain on their feet, even though their muscles stiffen up. The kids (young goats) do not have that skill, and usually topple over.

catalepsy or a drop attack, is the best I can come up with. just look up fainting goats and you should find something on it.
