X2. It's always educational to find out how things ended up.

Good to hear you found out what's wrong, and good to hear you've found a solution. Hope all works out great. Best wishes.

Quote: Sorry to hear it, I hope all goes well. I think she could probably do with a sling walker or something like that. The less the body is allowed to adopt unnatural positions, the more it is strengthened in natural ones. If not kept to a natural formation her body will give way in...

Good idea to let the kids feed her. It's a great experience for them and should help avoid excessive attachment to just one person. Lol about your husband calling her mutton! She's not a sheep. :P Best wishes.

You're welcome, hope something in all that helps. One thing someone should have mentioned by now, but clearly we all forgot, is that baby goats and sheep aren't fat like many other baby animals when they're born. They are very thin, usually, basically bones with a covering, no discernible...

Quote: Sorry to hear she got a cold. I'd guess they don't get colds quite like humans, did the vet give it a specific diagnostic name? Also sorry to hear your family's giving you a hard time. When I was writing the bits about not allowing people to stress you out with good but often misguided...

Quote: I don't have a handy image but there are makeshift devices for crippled animals that you may want to look into building. (Even if you don't think of yourself as a builder, really, all you need is a bit of commonsense and the willingness to learn). All it needs is four castor wheels on...

Glad to hear she's doing better. On the topic of stretches, if you go slow and gentle you'll feel if there's any resistance. I only very gently and slowly pushed and pulled a few millimeters beyond the initial resistance with my lamb's knees, but the injury here is different. Massaging is...

Quote: She's cute. Wish you all the best with her. The way she's lying in the first pic is pretty typical for back injury. I don't think anything's wrong with her legs. Hopefully only a severe bruising or swelling causing inflammation that's causing the lameness, but even if there is a break...

Everyone's got their own opinions and experiences, and I don't intend to try to contradict anyone else's advice, which may well be the right advice for your circumstance --- what works for one individual may not work for another, speaking of both humans and animals. It's best to get as many...
