B&B Happy Goats....journal

[AlleysChicks]

I'm hoping everything will turn out just fine in the morning...I sure hope so
It almost sounds like It could have been a pyometra...but I don't know if that happens in goats ?
Does she have a high temperature?

I was thinking the same thing. Or a ovarian cyst.


I would see how she is tomorrow. She may be fine. Could be a one time thing, I'd definitely keep up with the antibiotics and consult a vet when they are in. Keep an eye on her membrane color.

Even if you could save her, this could render her unable to breed again or give milk. The vet bill would be more than she is worth, with the outcome that she would hang out, eat as much as a doe that produced kids and gave milk. And that's if she could be saved. I totally understand, you got to be realistic. Sometimes it sucks to be strong and do the right thing.

We carried a ewe to the vet, turned out that she had a ruptured pre pubic tendon, her belly hung low, pressing her lungs down. She struggled to breathe. The vet put her down, I bawled all the way through it, even BJ shed tears. Of course she was my favorite and I loved her.

Miss @B&B Happy goats,

I am so sorry for your loss. It seems that it is the goodhearted folks like you who have been suffering lately -- you, Miss @Rammy, Miss @babsbag, Miss @farmerjan, and I am sure others as well. Please know our thoughts are with you.
