Yesterday, Shadow, a four year old Nubian doe, due to kid in 10 days, badly injured her udder. A deep puncture wound done by a broken tree branch, that also made about a 6 inch tear in the skin of her udder, just above the teat.

It is a horrible wound! She made it through the night. And is getting good care.
But, with kids due so soon, and the possibility of infection, etc... we are worried. Thankfully we have two other does giving lots of milk, so if she survives, and the kids survive we will have plenty of milk for them.

So, if you are the praying sort,
we would appreciate your prayers for poor Shadow and her yet to be born kids.

Thanks.

Yes, prayers for you and your goat.

Keep us informed, please Rebbetzin.

Are antibiotics called for?? Maybe someone will post with the answer for that one.

Prayers sent...keep us updated please and I'm hoping for a very good outcome :hugs

Was wondering...do you think God smiles when we pray for our animals...or other people's animals...focusing on an udder injury? And does He smile when we pray for people using their screen names because we do not know their real names?

I think he smiles at our prayers a LOT! :) And listens to them of course. I sometimes find myself mid-prayer and smirk at my words, because I imagine that it sometimes sounds a bit to God like the concerns my sweet three year old brings to me.

Saying a prayer for your goat. :hugs
