Worst day ever: Dog attack Bella stopped eating.

I'm so sorry. We've had to put down two adult does this spring (medical issues) and it's just heart wrenching. My heart goes out to you, you've given her everything you could.

I'm so sorry. I lost one of my favorite does during birthing. The kid was too large and ripped her uterus almost in half. I also had to make the decision to euthanize since there was no way the vet could clean out her peritoneal cavity properly from all the uterine contents. I know what you are going through.

I am soo soooo Sorry to hear about your goat!!! those dogs would have been shot dead if that had happened here.

It is just heartbreaking to read what you've had to go through.

Thanks everyone for your kindness. I really feel the support when I let it all out on this forum! I feel so guilty! I keep thinking the straw was too thick, making it slippery and I spooked her and that was what caused her to fall and cause irrepairable damage.

She's comfortable on her pain meds and we are just waiting for the vet at this point. She is now unable to stand so we know that it isn't a choice anymore. In a way it's a bit comforting knowing that she won't have to go through more surgery.

This is a pic of my sweet girl a few months ago, eating my friends sweater. She came with her son for a play date with our goats!

Bless your heart!! I so understand what you are feeling and I can't say how badly I feel for you! its just such a HORRIBLE ordeal.

I wish I could give you real hugs cause I know you need them. It wasn't your fault and you did do everything possible for your goat. More than some people would have. try not to blame yourself for anything.

It is so sad when people are irresponsible with their dogs. I feel very bad for you. At least she had a wonderful life with your family. My thoughts will be with you tomorrow.

You did everything that you could do for Bella and showed her so much love during her pain. You and the beautiful Bella are in my thoughts and prayers.

It was not your fault. Accidents happen and she would not have been in the situation to be hurt worse if your neighbors dog hadn't attacked her to begin with.

So sorry to hear about Bella. I second what everyone else has already stated. You've made the right decision for Bella and wouldn't have had to make it if it weren't for the neighbor's dog . I was really pulling for Bella though and am sad to hear she didn't make it. Sending you all the prayers for strength to help you through this sad time.
