I'm so sorry that's got to be heartbreaking losing so many

 

[Hens and Roos]

so sorry to hear

Thank you...
@Latestarter I have 1 doe and 3 bucks left. It is possible the doe is bred, but if not, I'm going to wait to breed her.
@frustratedearthmother None of the necropsy results mentioned that, but what does bottle jaw look like?

Thanks everyone

Sure hope ya can get a handle on this situation and conquer it and put it behind you once and for all. We only have 3 and can only imagine the utter disappointment that you must be feeling at this time, but those that you still have are certainly depending on you and ya have to muster on for their sakes and for yourself also. It is very easy to give up and walk away, but it takes character and fortitude to press forward and Overcome. It certainly is a devastating Blow, but the only way to Honor Cookie and all that she meant to you is to recover and move forward and leave this very "Dark Spot" behind you, pickup the pcs and regroup for those coming and the meaning and memories to be made with them. Our Prayers and Thoughts are certainly with you thru all of this and it is times like this that make us Stronger to face the future.

Bottle jaw is a kind of swelling under the chin and jaw...more like edema than a true swelling. Found a pic on Google...

WOW. 6 is a number, a big number when talking about losses. But 6 out of 10 is a HUGE number. I hope it was only the liver flukes and that is all behind you now.

Ok, thanks. None of them had anything like that as far as I remember.

Thank you! Yes, it is hard, and sometimes I have thought of giving up goats... But I would miss them, I love goats. By the Grace of God I'll be able to move past this.

Thank you, I hope so too! There was some pneumonia involved too, but was probably secondary to the flukes.
