Lost one of the orphan kids last night

Yep, it was.
I usually have kids registered by 2-3 wks of age.
I kept thinking I should call the owners for the paperwork but kept putting it off, which is unlike me....wierd.

I've called and asked if he's able to take the boy now. It's so sad hearing him yell for his sister. I have no kids his size to keep him with, I tried putting him in w/ the big kids and he climbed right through the pen and followed me to the house.

Not interested in any more baby goats at the moment. I've been bottle feeding since Dec. I am ready for a break.

I had to talk to the vet today (about Canadian import laws / requirements) and asked him about her. He says, "Well...You could bring her in for me to check out, but if it's a clot or blown vein, I may never find it." He agreed that was probably the culprit.

Thanks for the support, guys.

Aww, I'm sorry Kim. That's such a bummer... the wondering is nearly as bad as the loss itself. I've made a couple kids gimpy for a day or so giving C/D&T shots, but they're never any worse for wear. Maybe it's something unrelated?

If anyone did everything right, it had to be you! It had to be a fluke. Had to be.

So sorry to hear that! Each one is special! I always feel so responsible for every one of my animals!
