Hi Everyone! I thought I should update on the dehorning process!
Quite a few months have passed since the goats were dehorned... Latte, Basil, and Ashton all seem to have small scurs currently.
Last Friday I lost Buttercup; I am not 100% sure why, but I think it had to do with the cold weather. She was Cookies first kid, and my first kid born here.
Then on Sunday, my dear sweet Shaya wasn't feeling her best. We brought her inside to get warm. Tuesday I found out at the vets that she had pneumonia, and she seemed to be doing better in the afternoon. Wednesday morning she seemed worse, and we took her to the vets. They admitted her to the hospital, and before we got home, they called and told me she didn't make it. I am grateful for the time I had with her, and she will be missed. She was my little Cookie. So much like her momma. I am so sad that she is gone.They found out that she had a liver abscess that ruptured and the pneumonia was secondary. :'(
So, so Sorry for such a Loss!!....I know they meant so Much to you and it will certainly be some time before ya can put this behind ya...if ever....you can take consolation in knowing the cause of one and the weather up there has been Brutal for you and the animals....hold on to the Good memories and it will ease the pain hopefully, before too long a time....many here do share in your 'Grief'.....
