That's horrible. Reminds me of the time I worked with a vet... we went to a farm where a pit bull had broken into a pony's stall. When I say there wasn't an inch on that pony that didn't have a puncture - there wasn't an inch on that pony that didn't have a puncture. We spent about 6 hours cleaning up and stitching some wounds, installing drains in others, and leaving others alone. The pony had holes in his lips, in his ears, in his penis.. it was horrible.

It's amazing how much damage a determined dog can inflict. (not picking on pit bulls in particular - just stating the facts in this case)

The pony had gotten a few defensive moves in, and we ended up having to put down the dog also. Just a tragedy all around.

This goat is a miracle for sure! She survived, is healing, AND still gave birth to a healthy doe kid :) Ill be keeping her genetics for sure, just for the strong will to live.

You are right that she is a miracle and the kidding is the real amazing part. It seems that they can abort over tiniest little things. She deserves extra treats :)

Unfortunately mama goat must be put down. She took a turn for the worse and her eye became cloudy her wound began to get really infected and it just was not worth her suffering. I will only be picking up the baby Sunday. :( I was hoping that things would get better but they never did.

Sorry to hear it. I am certainly not surprised but still saddened.
