ok hell of a week ,the goat is starving (hasn't eatten for a week and 2 days )to death acidosis ,has been mentioned Confused

vets coming at 2 for second opinion as we were treating for pnemonia ,which i'm sure is wrong ,she's not far off kidding ,where i graze the sheep ,some kids keep playing in the woods and taking the repairs to the fence down Rolling Eyes

wouldn't mind but i've put chairs there so they can climb over ,without pulling it down Rolling Eyes

(which also raises question of would it be to dangerous to put a ram in there next year ,and they (sheep not kids)keep wondering onto the road or into the posh ladies garden and eatting her flowers i have appologized ,well groveled Crying or Very sad

and offered her a couple of free joints ,when the boys that eat her flowers go to town ,she said she was very happy to eat the damn things Twisted Evil

,one upside i now have a lovely red dorking cockeral i'll just have to hatch out some girls now Wink

Fingers crossed you can get to the bottom of it & get it treated. Has the vet tried any blood testing yet ?

What kind of goat is she ?
