For all you kidding thread addicts:

I click on the link but all I see is a 5 second video of a picture of a doe and kid, then nothing.

All I see is the empty pen. Cinnamon and Sneaky must have moved out. Sure hope I can get my internet hooked up this week, before Elsie kids, so we all have something to watch.

Well, it's still a battle with momma Cinnamon. It's been 3 weeks & a day since the c-section was performed due to a mispositioned kid blocking the way. Cinnamon has had 4 healthy normal kiddings previously but this time was not so successful. Anyhow, the 1 surviving kid--Dancing Angels Sneak Attack is doing great. I had him listed for sale but I think I am going to actually keep him for some fall breedings & then he will be available in October 2012. Anyhow, Cinnamon is battling infection. I brought her back into the vet a few days ago & they prescribed a stronger antibiotic shot & told me to spray the incision with a cleaner & antibacterial spray plus give her a fingertip of bute paste & some probios---twice daily..oh how I wish I had married a veterinarian to do all of these fun tasks for me! Anyhow, I brought my dog in to the vet to get spayed today & told him about how Cinnamon isn't getting better or any worse at this time. She's hardly eating any hay but is still drinking water. There is always a big wet spot from where she lays from stuff constantly dripping out of her incision so I keep throwing more fresh bedding each time. The doc told me to bring Cinnamon in at 4pm before I pick up Daisy & he'll get down to the root of the infection. He'll probably open her up again & do whatever he has to do. Hopefully this will do the trick & then we'll make some better progress to a full recovery!

On another note...only 5 more weeks until kiddings begin, I have 10 senior does due to kid starting around Feb 3rd! I'll be moving the camera tonight to view the 10 senior does.

Oh, I so hope Cinnamon recovers quickly. We have all come to love her like she was our own. Can't wait for more pics of more babies. Hang in there. We are all pulling for your girl.

Oh dear, poor girl. Yea, the vet may have to open her up to clean out the infection if it has gotten bad.

I'd ask the vet about how to do an abdominal support brace for her if she has surgery again, and even if she doesn't. Humans with abdominal surgery often wear wrappings around their abdomen to brace the incision until it heals. Every cough, sneeze, deep breath, etc. likely hurts it, and that will help. The support can also help prevent an incisional hernia, which is possible. I am sure the vet will tell you too to be extra vigilant about checking her for respiratory infections. It is very likely that she isn't breathing deeply because it hurts, and that can lead to post surgical pneumonia. It isn't like you can tell a goat to practice deep breathing exercises everyday, heh.

I really hope she recovers soon. She seems like such a fighter, and a special little girl!

yay more kids
I hope Cinnamon gets better let us know what the doc says.

My prayers are with you and Cinnamon.

A lot of folks have really enjoyed the barn cam you set up.

Here's hoping for the best for you and your Cinnamon.
