Well that stinks.

Is it possible to at least vaccinate hank and Bonnie?....the site I read said it lives in the soil for two years . That's not too bad still sucks but. .... Could bleaching help? My sister and I sprayed down our pens with bleach with a background sprayer when we got sore mouth. Haven't had another case in four years....

I feel awful I can't imagine how you feel.

Yeah, vaccinating the others would be a good idea.

We're having everyone else tested, Hank, Bonnie, and the alpacas. People have been overloading me with info, saying she could have a false positive, or I need to send a sample to this lab or that lab, and I shouldn't even be testing blood at all, I need to wait for another abcess and get pus from that, and that I can't send it anywhere more than 24 hours away, and that it doesn't matter where I send it, and all in all I'm getting very very frustrated with them. It's not on this forum, I'm not miffed at anyone here. I've decided I'm not even going to listen to them, I'm going to go ahead and test the other goats. If they come up positive, I'll assume they all have it, and if they're negative I'll have Elf retested. And those "experts" may think I'm making the wrong decision, but if they keep contradicting each other I'm going to make my own decision. So to them

I'm looking for another job now, oh joy of joys... *sigh*

Oh, and Happy National Meteor Day!

An abscess AND a + test result would be pretty darn conclusive (IMHO)....

I wouldn't wish CL on anyone, sorry you're going through this.

 

[HankTheTank]

Would it make a difference if the abcess was right where she had a cut?

I debated getting rid of the goats, because lets face it: in a couple years I'm going to have to move out of my Mom's house, and finding a place where I can take goats, especially CL+ ones, will be difficult. I decided not to however, because first of all I couldn't stand to see them go, and secondly, after I almost sold Elf, I told them all I would never get rid of any of them. I know they don't know what I said, but I know, and even if they are livestock I'm not going to lie to them (this is why my friends think I'm crazy ) So for now they stay, though in a couple years I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'll figure it out when the time comes, I guess. Thanks for the advice everybody


I got invited to go camping with my friend Rachel in Lake George again this summer, although with her family it's not exactly "camping",it's staying in an RV Park, in a very nice camper, and going to Six Flags Ok by me, since my family doesn't do stuff like that, and as I found out last year, I love roller coasters! And, last year when I went, I won a lightsaber!! *DORK ALERT*

In case you haven't noticed, I added a little something to my siggy If you read it you can see what my summer "project" is
