Good evening all, my last update on Angel the sick goat and her two kids. She is recovering well, we moved her outside and she is 80% healed. Still an open wound around her bag that is yet to heal but every day I examine her she's better. She's confined to a barn and very upset we won't let her out but she'll live.
Her two babies are doing well. The little boy still, after a month and a half will not take a bottle. I'm still taking him to another goat to nurse off of. The other momma goat hates me because I have to hold her still while he nurses every four hours...... But you do what you have to do and work with what you're given.
We've taken in two pregnant goats who were yearlings and getting picked on pretty bad in their former herd. They are settling in well and adjusting to a cushy life in the barn which is a lot better than what they were used to.
As I always ask if you can please give to your local shelters and rescues. Money, a bag of dog or cat food, feed for farm animals, they are the most neglected. Old towels, blankets, even clothing your kids have been tough on and outgrown can be used to keep an animals a little warmer/comfortable. You make the difference. Thank you all!
