Just a thought...
Are you close enough to a facility that could run a necropsy on her? If nothing else, you'd likely be able to know for sure what the cause of death was.

I would like to know what happened, but to be honest, this has been really awful and we decided to skip a necropsy. I don't have the energy.phoenixmama said:

So sorry for your loss, and for your bucklings' loss
If we do this long enough, we'll all be there one time or another.

I'm so sorry for your loss!! I have a goat breeder friend on line that believes that a lot of unexplained goat deaths are copper deficiency related. I know you didn't choose to do a necropsy, but I highly recommend you bolus your goats with copasure. Even goats getting free choice loose mineral can be deficient in copper, and it will cause death.
