I am so heart-broken for you. I will definitely pray for you, your family, and your herd.

Are you having an autopsy done? I hope it was nothing dangerous to the herd, especially her babies.

 

[BlessedWithGoats]

Thank you @sadieml! She was a special girl.
No, I didn't have an autopsy done... I don't think it was anything contagious, thankfully. I'm just trying to help keep the other ones healthy now...

So sorry about Cookie.
I do know how you feel.

 

[BlessedWithGoats]

Thanks OFA! I thought of you and Coleus, and know I really know what it feels like.

Just wanted to update on dehorning Buttercup... her horns were still growing, and the banding of her horns didn't work. The bands finally fell off, it looks like. Horns? Still intact, just oddly shaped. So, I shall wait a while, and hopefully try again when her horns don't seem to be growing much.

That's disheartening.

 

[BlessedWithGoats]

I can chalk it up to experience at least! Now I know to wait on the younger ones, till their horns have stopped growing!

One of Jaeger's scurs is threatening to grow right down into his head. I'm not quite sure what to do, to be honest. I think I'm going to try banding it and just pray that it works. I'll let you know if it does.

Yikes! @OneFineAcre did the banding method for one of his bucks that had scurs too... he may be able to give you additional advice on how that went/works!
