Had to Put Down My Goat

[WingingIt]

I'm sorry.

You did do the right thing.

Sorry for your loss. You did the right thing, even though it was painfully hard.

I'm so sorry. I know it wasn't an easy decision but one that had to be made. HUGSSSSSSSSSS

So sorry, I have 3 goats, i have only had them for about 2 months not even, but i love them so much already, I would be heart broken if something happens to mine.
I am so sorry for you.

I'm so so sorry you had to go through this

I completely understand where your coming from. We've (my husband) had to put 2 goats down in this last 2 weeks. One of them was our very first goat we got 2 years ago, he had UC. I bawled so hard and so long. I know we made the right decision and so did you. Take comfort in knowing you ended your poor girls suffering

and some more

It's never easy

I know exactly how you feel.

I drove 14 hours, spent $300 to pick up a wonderful Show Winning Beautiful Pygmy Buck last month.

I fell in love with him. Sooo cute. My goats are more than just animals, they are pets.

A few days ago I was feeding, and noticed he hadn't eaten his morning breakfast. I peeked inside his house and he was rasping, and weak, and his eyes and nose were snotty. He could barely walk, but he drank some gatoraid, and I gave him a shot of Pen One which was all I had. Had to leave for work. Next morning, I check on him. He couldn't stand. I dragged him on a tarp to the barn, and put him in a warm stall. Went to pick up some Expensive Medicine about 45 minutes away. Got back home to find him dead.

I am so heartbroken. He went from healthy to dead in just a day or two. He was strong and healthy, and as sweet and wild as they come. It has really dampened my excitment about goats, and slowed up my breeding plans. I am just so upset, and in shock. I didn't see it coming at all. My poor little baby. He was so young, and strong. Now I fear for my other goats, which seem to timid and weak compared to him.

I'm so sorry. You did right by her.

The reality of the situation really hit me hard last night. I think I was still in shock on Saturday and I was distracted by the poultry show I attended. She'll be missed.

I couldn't put her down myself because she kept looking at me. Very unnerving. It was a learning experience for sure, so that's a positive.
