Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

Oh dear! He better behave then or else - poor wee man!

I think we need a photo of this wee menace

He's a charmer..

Sad thoughts indeed!

But nevertheless necessary ones when one has livestock. It’s all part of caring for one’s animals. Birthing, while exciting can also be very traumatic if something goes wrong, and I have lots of experience with foaling and calving, and losing babies.

My experience with end of life has always been quiet and quick with the Vet coming out, and quietly euthanizing them.

Now I have a decision to make - to leave her till my Vet can get back here when I get home, or carry out the deed myself.

Oh he’s a beauty! And beard and muffs to boot! Lovely

You should drop in more often and post more photos of your lovelies

Oh I will. I had to step away for awhile but in that time I gained a bunch more babies that love their pics taken and their stories told

Unfortunately I only have 1 day. My plan was to not leave this for my mum while I was away. If mum can’t keep getting pain meds into her then I worry she will suffer needlessly.

I will need to see if she will take bread soaked in the Tylenol, not sure what to do with the aspirin. Maybe a chunk of meat with it in there.

If your mum can't give her a pill, I would grind it up and tuck it into little balls of hamburger meat or something like that.
I am sorry - I missed that you were going away.

I have to go to Waterloo for the week for work. I wasn’t expecting it. I am ok with mum caring for the mum and babies and all, but I don’t want her to worry about Red.

Yes I will have to see if I can hide it in some bread for her to scarf back she does like her junk food so maybe a bit of toast.

I think the liquid Tylenol soaked in some bread should be ok, I am going to try her with this tonight when I do night time chores.

I don’t envy you at this point!
