Our two pygmy's are fine with a 4ft fence sans electric.

I'M STILL ALIVE! :D I haven't been on here at all in the last month and a half because I live in Toronto for school (York U) and my mum hasn't really been updating me as to whats going on at home, I expect, because at this point its really irrelevent since I can't do much about things at all...

lol I think I started a trend with the CL posts =P

It's those eerie eyes *shifty eyes* I swear, the goats are looking right through me sometimes.

lmfao, :lau

Sure will =] Cissy's abscesses are healing so they aren't all blown up anymore, but I can get a photo of the one by her jawline probably tomorrow.

From what I can see, it looks pretty far forward to be CL, like a lot far forward... on the cheek even. I'm not an expert, but I have a goat with a healing CL lump right at the jawline lol and it's not pretty, and the shape as well as location doesn't look right to me, but would need a better...

Well.. Mum and I talked it over and we're going to tell the vet this, since she'll give us Case-bac. We're going to vaccinate both girls with Case-Bac. I've done some reading that says its been effective in already infected goats, its worth a shot right? Then in 4 or 5 months we'll reevaluate...

I know. Its truly weird. And now they're coming up like crazy. Mione doesn't have any YET. But its very likely she will eventually. We may have to keep them, and just keep letting them burst/lancing them. Since its this bad on the surface with Cissy, its entirely possible she already had them on...

Well the vet called. Cissy is positive for CL and its advancing like rapid fire here. She already has 2 more abscesses starting since the last one. Mione most likely has it now as well. The real kicker is that now we cannot take them to auction since Cissy always has an open sore, we can't sell...

Yeah well the tests have already been sent off by the vet, she took a sample of the pus from Cissy's abscess when she lanced it Sunday morning. We'll know the results of that before I can get everything set up for WADDL. Remember, I have to order my Vacutainers because none of the stores carry...

Add VacuTubes (Vacutainers) to that list! For emergency blood-draws for tests :)

Heres a good thing! The good thing is, mostly for future reference, is that WADDL does take submissions from Canada! I emailed them and just got a response saying they do. Unfortunately at this stage it'll probably be just as long as the vets submissions are going to take what with getting...

Yeah and a necropsy is probably not financially viable at this point.
