RIP goat at the window
« on: August 31, 2009, 06:36 »
Bambi for reasons known only to herself died last night, she was fine when we brought them in (since Honey was stolen we keep them close to the farm during the day and bring them in at night) i have no idea why she passed away, but she was dead when i went to let them out this morning, i have woken Pip and told her so she doesn't get a nasty shock when she goes out to milk (Tallulah not Bambi) after losing Foxy it just seems like another blow,
 Bambi was a naughty goat but we loved her.



a short life but a happy one..................

i have to go to work now so you won't hear from me till later, that manager better not cross me today or he'll get both barrels for sure..............................

Oh big hugs from us. :(   She scared the bejebers out of me on that photo but she sure was a cutie.  A long or short life makes no difference as long as they are well looked after.
HUGS xx

thank you for all the kind words and hugs, Bambi's funeral will commence in about an hour (Sam's gone off to dig her grave) we still have no ideas or clues to why she died, we have examined her from head to foot and she doesn't have a mark on her, her droppings were normal, she wasn't bloated last night or this morning but she is now, her mouth was clear, her eyes still bright, no sign of infections, she's up to date with her tetanus jabs, she appears to have passed in her sleep lying down (upright, not flat on her side) this morning i wasn't aware she was dead straight away, it was when she didn't greet me at the stable door for food i realised something was wrong (even then i poked her thinking she was sleeping) i guess without a post mortem we'll never know what killed her, my dad thinks she may have had a dodgy heart, i have found out by googling that once a goat is sick they can die rapidly, but she wasn't sick last night, she was fine, we have been round the field she was in (all the other goats were in there and their fine) to see if we can spot anything she could have eaten that could be poisonous or dangerous (wire ect) but we haven't found anything, there isn't much more we can do except to watch the others closely and make sure we pick up on anything that isn't right.
The manager at work came to tell me off for some misdemeanor this morning (i have misdemeanors every day, leaving hoovers lying around ready for unsuspecting customers to trip over, not having wet floor signs out (for unsuspecting customers to slip on) glass cleaner left in the porch......) he took one look at my face and turned and walked away :)
