MP so sorry to hear about Cocoa's baby. I know the pain that goes with that stuff. I have lost a few both in C-section and in natural and it always hurts. Best of luck to you and Cocoa in her recovery.

No, I meant was the baby stuck in the birth canal and in distress, not stuck in the oven for too long.
I'm so sorry, hope Cocoa is up and on her feet soon from the anesthesia and heals quickly.

Like I said earlier in my concerns for Cocoa - she was just too young and this is what happens when they are bred too young.
We thought she was already bred. It was never our intentions to breed her this year.
This is why I always stress to people who think their spring kids should be bred in the fall at 5 or 6 months of age. Any sized goat should be given a full year to grow and mature before being bred. Those who use the excuse that they can't wait a year and must breed their does at 5 or 6 months do more damage than they think and are not putting the welfare of the goat above their own needs or wants of new kids and other reasons for breeding.
Learn from this example, please.
Let your girls have a full year to mature then breed them the following fall.
No kid or milk is worth what we have gone through with this little doe.
You will be glad you did.

Oh, Miss Prissy, I'm so sorry. Big hugs to you, your family , and especially to Cocoa. I know you'll give her extra special care, hugs and treats from all of us

That doesn't apply to just goats either. Dogs, cats horses and more, it's always wise to let them mature fully before breeding. Notice I am NOT commenting on human kids!
I know Cocoa was an accidental breeding, and it has troubled you MP. It's that old adage about do your best, learn from the experience and then move on, wiser for the experience.
to all of you!
