Sweetheart

Sweetheart spent eight days in the hospital. I spent 8 days before that, trying to turn her around. It was much more serious that I thought. She came home today 17 pounds and 3 babies lighter. Not sure if the dead kids caused her to get so sick or if her sickness caused the kids to die. It could be her body could not support triplets. She got off the trailer and started grazing and hasn't stopped yelling I'm back to all the goats. I think she will recover. She is very lucky to have a doctor so interested in her well being. Sweetheart never gave in, never went down, never quit. It is not feasible to pay for vet help on a goat and sheep farm but if I have an animal willing to fight I am willing to help. Just hope she is able to have kids next year.
