Minnie's temp @ midnight: 103.5 @10:15 AM: 102.8

She is groaning, and has some froth in and around her mouth... Frothy Bloat?!?! NEED HELP FAST!!!

Is her left side actually bloated? I prefer mineral oil over both corn and veggie oil, if you happen to have mineral oil on hand. I'd give some baking soda, and I really like giving dish soap in cases of frothy bloat. It really helps to break up the froth. Is this a mini goat? Not sure how much to give the little ones, but I'd start by giving at least 1 tsp of dish soap.

The vet didn't even have the opportunity to check Minnie over... before we could even get 5 minutes down the road she died.

We continued down to the vet after moving her body to the back seat. As Daisy & heavily pregnant Momma still needed to be checked over. Got down there and the vet said they assume it was bloat, a necropsy probably won't show much of anything, Daisy looks great, normal temp, and sounds good, Momma definitely looks like she has just a week or two until kidding with at least twins, maybe potentially triplets, temp is on the high end, give her PenG Procaine(5ml IM 2 X daily for 5 days). Never done IM before! Anyone have a map of where to inject this way??

Emily. I think one of the saddest things about Minnie's death, is that this means there will be no Minnie Falkor babies. We were really looking forward to seeing what their babies were gonna look like.

Vet told us that PenG has to be givin IM... otherwise we would do SQ.
