And i didnt even know she was pregnant!
Talk about a shock and horror.
THis is what happend..
Back in may/june i gave my 2 goats to a local lady. (big mistake #1!)
One was a French Alpine Wether
the other was a papered Nigi dwarf doe (she was born in march)
So...i gave this lady my 2 goats with the promise that she would keep my wether always..OR he comes back to me..( i was worried about someone sending him to auction for meat..
) Thats why i GAVE her my $350 Nigi...to guarantee that my weather not be sent to auction..
So... a couple of weeks ago she calls me and says she cant keep my weather anymore...
so i say okay...i'll take him back...but i need my Nigi back also..because i cant keep just one goat..its cruel.
Now..my Nigi is TINY..like only 25 lbs ...VERY small!..
She should have NEVER been running with bucks! There is no way she could live through a pregnancy...
so...of course this lady was letting her run with the bucks!!...
AND....she never told me this when she returned her..
so....come to this morning...
My foster son went out to let them out and feed them...and there was a dead baby (fully formed..but with no hair yet) and my frickin pig was trying to EAT it!
Now..before you ask...the pigs have been fine with my goats...always.
But.. if i had known she was pregnant i would NEVER have had her in with my pigs! I am SO mad and hurt right now. This ladies neglect almost cost this little goat her life!
Sorry for being a drama queen..
but i am sooo stressed right now!
We just got back from the vets...
they x-rayed her..there are no more babies in her. but she still has placenta hanging from her. the vet said it will come out on its own..
Is there any other thing i need to look for? How will i know she expelled the whole placenta? Is there any thing else i need to do for her??
