I am not dealing with anything like this myself, but wanted to say thank you for the pics as things progress just in case (knock on wood) I ever do encounter it.

Wow. I just read all 14 pages of this thread in one sitting. I'm both soo happy for you I could cry, and so grossed out I could puke. Wild ride. You do such an incredibly awesome job. I hope I never have to deal with anything like this :::shiver::: but I'm grateful that you documented everything just on case!!!

I just read thru all 14 pages in one sitting too. Very gross pictures but as you said everyone was warned. Hope I never go thru that myself. I just wanted to add that I had a doe that had no apparent injury to 1/2 of her udder but every time she kidded I could never get any milk out of one side. It would just get very full and then dry off just fine while the baby and I got milk out of the other half. Amazing creatures.

For those of you who are curious, Annabelle was bred one last time.

One of our friends is interested in a pet, a pet who she can milk for the fun of it until she gets tired of doing it twice a day. Her weathers sheep companion passed away last october and it was agreed that we would let Annie have another kidding so Joann could milk her.
Pardon the after pregnancy bleck...

(Dang thing wont rotate, sorry guys)
If you look closely you can see the top part of her missing udder has swollen like normal. I suspect it may be attempting to make milk, and if my anatomy is right it is just being re-directed to the other udder. Her good udder is actually milking out more then last year. That could just be age, but I still find it interesting.
The kids are a swarming mob of "FEED US NOW MINIONS!!!" and so wont cooperate for a picture, but if you look closely in the right hand corner, you will see a cream/white llamancha eared baby. That is her little girl. And In the back, the big boy who looks just like her.

She will be leaving the farm next Friday, but at least we will be able to keep in touch, and quite possibly we may be keeping her baby girl. It will all depend on if hubby can stand having Annie's daughter taking her place. She was our very first goat, 4 years old, and after going through everything we did with her Hubby is taking the hit of having to give her away pretty hard.
Sometimes being practical stinks...
BUT at least she is going to a fantastic home where she will have an entire barn, llama, and whethered goat boy to boss around. Cant get any better then that :)
