Oh my goodness.... I am so sorry....
I think that I would be getting at least a cheap game camera and putting it out to see if someone is in fact messing with your stuff.
It does sound like he possibly was poisoned. We don't have poisonous snakes around here, so I really don't know about them and how dogs react when bitten.
My heart aches for you. I can't imagine.

Camera does sound helpful, to find out where the problem lies.
If you are indeed leaving cages and gates open, the camera will
tell you. If someone else is the problem, camera will show you
that as well.
Sounds pretty awful, but I would not tell ANYONE about the camera
and put it up myself. Even if technology challenged. Husband sounds
already "odd" about neighbors, and talking to them could get the
word out about camera. So then the intruder is warned or damages
the camera before messing things up again.
Do you have a perimeter fence? You may need to be LOCKING the
gates when not home, to prevent easy access, letting the livestock
out. I would be pretty mad getting my nice doe bred to a blah buck!!
Maybe locks on the rams gates, would help prevent it happening again.
Your dog couldn't get loose to run away again. No way to open the
gates when you are not home.
Have you called the Vet for a shot to use on the doe to lose any
possible babies? Then breed her to the better buck on the next heat.
Sure glad I don't live by you, with neighbors like that.

Oh man. Thats awful.
I'm thinking some kind of poison.
May ask around and see if anyone is using poison for any reason. I would hope it was an honest mistake.

I am so sorry for your lossSuch an awful thing to have happen, not knowing the reason for death is the worst. It does sound like poisoning, can you have a necropsy done? I lost a cat once to unknown causes, had the necropsy done to rule out poison as I sure didn't want to think any neighbours had done something like that and it turned out to have been a heart attack! Didn't make the loss any easier but at least I knew. Sympathy to you for your loss.
just reading the forum and saw your post. I am so very sorry for your hard loss. it's terrible to begin with and then to think the animal suffered makes it harder. I think the cameras, done on the quiet, is a good idea too. if someone is messing with your place - you need to know it.

So sorry to hear about your dog! I hope you figure out what is going on for your own peace of mind.
