I am sorry for your loss of the baby but usually they dont even live that long with a cleft palate. It wasnt your fault as it probably aspirated milk into the lungs and either got pnuemonia or there was something else wrong and you couldnt see it...its sad when you try this hard ...sorry again.

I'm so sorry. I hope you can find comfort in knowing that although her life was very short she was well loved and cared for.

 

[Chickaroo!]

Aww, that's so sad. I'm sorry to hear about that.

Seems like it's happening alot lately. I lost one of my hens yesterday.

Thanks for all the good wishes. We knew a cleft palate couldn't live too long, and she died very quickly. She was the daughters and lived with her and her hubby, and she was my grand"kid". They said she was nearly lifeless when she woke them up bleating. She had been fine all evening and fine when they all went to bed. So at least she didn't suffer or cost an expensive vet trip, which we of course would have made if there had been anything to do. Now we've raised a midget bull, a blind bull, and a very sweet baby goat. Thanks again for the condolences. When daughter shows me how I will post pics. We took some three days before she died.

No, Baby BG did not die to pneumonia. I was figuring that would be what would get her but that was not it. We monitored her lungs a fluid in them daily. Not once did we get a raspy breath or a fluidy sounding lung from the day she was born. Her palate was actually decreasing and size and closing. I honestly think it was a heart defect that got her. In listening to her lungs I spent plenty of time listening to her heart and it never sounded quite right, ever. It's just good to know she went quickly and didn't suffer too terribly long. Our Jack Russell and one of our cats is still confused because she's not there for them to sleep with.
