Praying real hard for BB. Hoping this time the dex works. But had that "e" word in the back of mind too.

Hoping for the best for your girl Peachick. You have done an awesome job being her champion. Hoping for the best for BOTH of you.

thank you everybody, your support is priceless.

BB's attitude is rather flat. She just stands around or walks around but not animated and active and silly like a tiny baby should be.
She does perk up when Im out there and trots around after me. She loves feeding time.... and will sometimes try to climb on me.
But, her sister Zoomie is a wild and busy girl. She is getting big and strong and sometimes knocks BB over. As they are growing its obvious that BB is a miniature goat and is now about half the size of Zoom. Yesterday BB couldn't get back up after being knocked down.... part of that is that she is a fainter and so her legs were stiff. But I watched her flail around for almost 2 minutes trying to stand up again.... so sad. I finally had to help her up. I fear that bloat will become a problem for her if she cant get up on her own. I dont want to seperate the girls, but I may have to.
*sigh*

I am hoping sooooo much that the new Dex round will help her. She is such a sweet little goat and I hate that she just can't be "cured". You have done such a great job with her. Sending hugs to you and little BB. :hugs

I found little Black Betty dead this morning.

I know I invested too much energy into her, but for some reason I had to.

Thanks again, your hugs and prayers mattered.

You did everything you could for your sweet Black Betty. Sometime Nature wins. It sucks.

My heartfelt condolences to you and your herd.

Kat - I am so sorry, but it was most likely the best thing for her in the long run. :hugs

You did what you felt was right and may you be richly rewarded for your kind heart and willingness to try with her.

:( I'm so sorry to hear that. You tried everything you could and worked so hard to get her healthy. Hopefully she's zooming around somewhere right now, happy and full coat of black hair. :hugs :hugs :hugs

So sorry to hear this news. You went above and beyond for this little girl, and made what little time she had as comfortable as possible. You did good! :hugs
