Goat breathing heavy and clumsy

[Aunt Angus]

Her name is Lucy. She’s a boer goat but I did breed her with a Nubian and her kids Romeo and Joan love her Then there’s Autumn who was born from Lucy’s sister who sadly passed shortly after she was born. They were born only 2 days apart. And Carl was recently adopted … Pygmy Nigerian dwarf mix from a co worker looking for a good home for him. They are a mischievous because their goats. That’s what makes me crazy sorry but what makes me admire and adore them

How is Lucy doing today? Any improvement?

I should have recognized Boer. Mine are all mutts - any combo of Boer, Nubian, and ND. That's quite a mixed herd! I bet they're a fun bunch. My biggest girl, Sunshine, isn't mischievous at all. She's too much of a scaredy goat to get into trouble.

Very little improvement. Ups and downs. Thought it was time but she keeps fighting to improve

Her will may stronger than her body. I know it’s stressing her poor kids. They just sit in the same spot around her for two days. They will cave and get up and eat since I moved their food and hay closer. They won’t even get up and browse. And I can see their stress.
If she hasn’t improved and gotten up by tomorrow morning the vet will be here to euthanize. I’m hoping they will since this feel more released.

We got her babies to get up and about. At least Romeo stated acting likes a goober a bit again

I understand she’s about or close to 10 years old which is good for a boer. I would love for her to stay with us but even if it doesn’t work that way I want to know that she’s not miserable
we’ve had 8 great years together and she raised beautiful happy healthy kids

Oh, that FACE! I'm in love! No wonder you call him Romeo!

He’s named after the stud we used but appropriate cause he’s quite the charmer and HUGE! Even the vet was surprised the first time. His head meets my chest. I’m only like 5 ft tall but still! 160-70 lbs of goofiness

Romeo and Lucy coming back from or nature trail walk
Can you believe she raised that mini horse?!
