Do you have more than one pygmy you are bottling right now?

So sorry for your loss. I don't have a clue but I think I would want a necropsy done.

I am so sorry to hear this. Yes, please get a necropsy done. You may be able to find out what happened.

Julie depending on your vet or location in WV you can contact UK and they will send you what you kneed for Necropsy. I have done this with some chickens and they were very helpful. Turned out in their cases it was brain trauma silly silkies bumped their heads. Sorry for your loss and I wean Billie's at 2 months because they can mate at that point. Does I will leave on moma earlier but if they are eating grain I pull off the bottle I will use the calfmana milk pellets mixed in from TSC. I know everyone has opinions on this its just what has worked for me. My friend had a grown Nubian fall over dead when the temp changed like it did. She had just got the goat 3 days before. I think combination moving and change in weather. How long had the little one ben outside? If it was the one in the house then was only out a few days when it was nice then got cold its coat may not have been warm enough if it didn't have enough straw or other goats to cuddle with. I moved my babies outside on the warm day and I have 2 heat barrels out with them. They are also in with the young chickens normally I would not do this but I am out of room. Again sorry for your loss.

So very sorry, i know what its like to loose a baby you put so much energy into.

It would also have been silent pneumonia. I lost one earlier this year, he was fine in the morning, and he died that night in my arms. Its a swift killer.
