FergusonK's journal - Goodbye Java Jewel.

[Goat Whisperer]

A client who purchased one if my bucks had a similar issue. Her other buck (NOT the buck she got from me!) jumped the fence and his foot got caught in wire. He ripped one of his toes CLEAR OFF!

She put him on antibiotics and wrapped his hoof and he never skipped a beat. He was sore but was still able to breed some does right away

Hoping your guy is okay and that he is only sore. Thankfully we haven't had to deal with that.

I'm praying he's only sore. Just checked on him while doing our prebed doe check. He's sleeping, not shaking anymore. Still no swelling in that leg. No swelling means its just sore... I hope.

Hoping everything ends up okay.

This morning I found him in top of the goat castle. He's limping, but, otherwise okay.

Oh no! I'm so glad he's doing ok. Leg injuries freak me out!

 

[Ferguson K]

Just went out to the back pasture to check on everyone. Turned Duli out this morning to see how he did. He looks OK. Just a little sore.
Tried to upload a picture from my phone. It's not liking that idea.

There we go. The back leg closest to us is the one I knew for sure was broke based on how he hung.

Still waiting for baby pics from your Girls up here!

Please don't hit me for that!

 

[Ferguson K]

I keep a wishful eye on the goat pasture.

Pony loves!! Hunny has to get in on it, too... Java didn't want any attention.
