    Sick baby goat

    Thanks for all of your kind words. He wasn't with me all that long, but he still took a little piece of my heart just like they all do. He was loved and he was not alone when he died. I just wanted to say thanks to all who offered their kind words.

    Do goats sleep with their eyes open?

    Yeah, we tried different nipples with her. She was just too sick and too far gone when we got her, I think. I contacted the vet as soon as I could after I got her and they tried to give her the treatment to help her. I don't even know that she was 10 days. The sale barn I got her at was not...

    Do goats sleep with their eyes open?

    Thanks to everyone for their help. Took all the advice I could find, gave her all the love we could in her short time with us. The vet tried. I knew better than to buy a baby at the sale barn! I couldn't let that scraggly mean looking bear buy that beautiful baby, in hindsight, maybe she...
