Penny kidded! Pics / long story page 2

[Roll farms]

Penny's temp this am is 101.6 and she's snarfing alfalfa.

I went ahead and flushed her out (ick) and will keep her on the Pen G for probably 10 days.

*whew* I know she's not 'better' yet....but she's better than she was, and I will take it.

That's GREAT news, Roll! Sounds like she'll just need a little extra TLC after a rough kidding.

Brilliant news, I am so glad to hear it, and I am sure she will get all the TLC she needs.

She's still up / eating / acting like her old sweet self. Now if only her milk production would go up...she's my ice cream supply girl.

So good to hear! How's her huge kid?

 

[Roll farms]

He's ok as far as eating / pooping / peeing. But...I think we stretched one leg more than the other...the kid can't walk w/out dragging one of his legs. I've got a splint on it trying to firm it up.

He was weak legged at first, which was to be expected, but this one leg really seems longer. I'm wondering if we didn't hyperextend the tendon or something.

Hoping tomorrow brings more improvement, he's been a bit better at walking every day.

How is penny and her kid doing? I can not believe how big he was.

The kid is fine, he wore a leg brace for a day or so until his legs got stronger and then never stopped running. He's went on to his new home w/ his buddy Forrest. (Thanks, Mo!)

I'd actually wanted to brag on Penny, she hit 9# of milk today (over a gallon) and I'm soooo proud of her.

She looks mighty sorry, though. First time ever - I have a goat w/ an allergic reaction to Cyclence- but she did - and has a bald stripe down her back from a chemical burn.


I had a BYH-er here today to pick up rabbits and I was ashamed to let her see her... but she wanted to meet her.

Other than the bald back...she's fine. And I've lined up a date for her (after a nice loooong break / lactation) w/ a Nigi breeder about 30 minutes away when she's ready.

Mini obes may become the new thing now. I am glad she is feeling better beside the bald back.
