Poor girl, I really hope she pulls through. She's been a trooper up 'til this point, she can't give up now!
The little buckling keeps headbutting and crawling on her and looks like he is nibbling her too. He is just so energetic and she looks like she feels awful.
She got up on her own tonight & even took big mouthfuls of hay from me--almost seemed like she had her old appetite back She didn't stand for long but she did get up & let the little guy nurse even though he had just downed a bottle of milk that I gave him. Then Cinnamon wanted the bottle too--I debated on putting some water in it & seeing if she would really drink but she was fine with drinking from the bucket when I put it in front of her.
There is still hope that she may just make it through this alright. If we can just get her standing up more often then I'll feel even better!
We are moving 40 miles south of Duluth next May and will be looking for 2 pet goats. We want them as companions on walks and brush eaters. I will contact you in the spring.

Sounds good Keep an eye on my For Sale page on my website or if you PM me your e-mail address, I can send you pics of kids that will be available as wethers before I post them for sale. My goats sell quickly here especially in the spring.
Pretty cute there now, all curled up next to Mom. Hope she's ok. Did they move to a different stall? Kinda like moving out of Labour & Delivery to a regular room?
Have you considered offering Cinnamon warm gatorade or a yogurt shake? Sometimes a little sweetness in the diet can stimulate the appetite? (yes, I speak from experience, a little bit of chocolate and then, wham! the whole bag is gone )
She is looking much more lively this evening. It is the first time I checked up on her since this all happened that she has had her head up, ears perky and looking around
The baby looks so adorable curled up next to her
He looks like he is trying to get her up for some breakfast...or rather dinner...
