BlessedWithGoats Journal: Happy Birthday Gia!

[BlessedWithGoats]

Thank you.

Shaya did, but I don't remember Basil having one, and Buttercup I'm not sure.

Shaya had a liver abcess, and pneumonia, but not parasites.
Basil had liver flukes, I don't think she had pneumonia.
Buttercup had... I'm not sure what. I didn't have any tests done on her.

I am glad you found a cause and now you can get the others treated and hopefully put this horrible episode behind you. Liver flukes aren't something I have any experience with, hot dry summers can be a plus sometimes; slugs and snails don't stand a chance.

Thank you @babsbag! This has been a tough year with my goats, but there has been some bright spots too.

@BlessedWithGoats, I'm so sorry you had to lose your sweet goats. But, glad you have been able to find a cause & can start treating the rest of your goats.

@BlessedWithGoats -- I am so sorry that so much has gone badly for you, lately. I will be glad to see 2016 end, as we lost 4 roos (1 to worms, 2 to heatstroke, and 1 ???) and a heretofore healthy cat to heatstroke! We are awaiting kids due end of Jan, 1st of Feb. It's a nice way to start a NEW YEAR!

Please, know that you are loved here and we all share your sorrows. Remember, a sorrow shared is halved; a joy shared is doubled!

I love that @sadieml! Never heard that before, but it is so true!

I think my Nannie Harmon told me that. She was an awesome woman of faith. She's been gone more than 25 years and I still think of her daily. She really made a difference in my life. Born right across the dirt road from our house (at the old homestead) in 1894, stayed there until she was about 92. She had 2 green arms. She could grow anything from next to nothing and still climbed her pear tree to prune it at age 90. My favorite quote, "There's nothing that ails you that can't be made better by goin' out and getting 2 good hands full of God's good earth." She was quite a lady!

I like that! Thank you both, and @sadieml I am sorry for your losses too!

Saw this in one of my earlier journal posts.
On a sad note, I buried Basil today
