Blossom: A Nubian’s Story

[Wehner Homestead]

My Blossom has a voice! She has been talking to me since I got home and demanding my attention. I love it! She’s coming to life before our eyes.

I need to get her weighed. I dare say she may be pushing 130#!! It was crazy to see how she looked after being gone for a few days. I could definitely see the improvement.

Laying down eating but you can still tell she’s made progress. She actually has a little gut!

Her feeding regimen is still a full scoop of beet pulp, two handfuls of chopped alfalfa. We did change up her cup of sweet feed to 1/2 cup dairy goat feed. She’s tolerated it well!

Blossom is due for another fecal but I’m actually shopping for a microscope so I plan to do it myself!

Have you been able to get her blood tested now that she's on the mend?

I still haven’t tested Blossom. I really need to get on the ball to come up with a breeding plan or cut my losses. I did get on the site to figure out what I need but I was on my phone so it wasn’t user friendly. I’m also working on an all breed showmanship file for our county 4-H. When I get that done, I can change my focus.

I know you are busy, but I need a Blossom update, please and thank you.... maybe a new picture too? When you get a spare moment. (I understand you can occasionally find spare moments for sale at Amazon, but they are pricy.)

Weighed Blossom a few weeks ago. She’s up to 137#!!! Need to do another fecal and still haven’t done her testing. One of my goals for the week.

She's looking SO much better!

She looks great! So glad the plan worked for Blossom as well as it did Ruby. I know it saved her life.
Very interesting how this protocol has saved so many does. If we hadn't gone through with Ruby I would never believe it could be so drastic. What I find interesting is that almost all the people who have gone through this it's all been Nubians. Not sure why though.

Your diligence in following through is really what makes it all work. It sure seems like forever but it has paid off. I know you must be extra happy with all you have been through lately.
