I would like to know what happened, but to be honest, this has been really awful and we decided to skip a necropsy. I don't have the energy. :( Thank you for your kind thoughts.

I got up as soon as we had some sunlight to check on her and she was gone. We feel terrible. At least the 2 babies have the wether companion goat. We are going to have to figure out bottle feeding, etc., that we had not planned on. I am very sad over this as she was a wonderful girl. Thank...
