Ayup ADGA is currently a mess! It seems to have started when they launched their revised website called NG and it has been a mess since then. My herd is all ADGA registered and some are AGS. But I will be dual registering them with AGS over the Winter. Unfortunately the shows in New England...

Thank you very much. There is a big hole in our herd at the moment. She was quite the presence! But we do have her brother and a few of her offspring.

Thank you so much Greybeard! I was as concerned about the possibility of it being genetic. We have 2 of her daughters, her son and her twin brother. This situation has really stunk, but as long as we can learn from it, all is not lost. You have all been wonderful and your support means more...

Thank you everyone. Grey beard that was VERY helpful. I just spoke to my vet a little while ago and she translated for me as well. Her take was that it was a neurological cause. I.e for some reason the "pyhyloric spincter" was not allowing food to move to and from her abomasum. This resulted in...

Thank you Rammy. I have been second guessing myself again since yesterday morning.

The preliminary results already came over. But they are "greek": to me. I am waiting to hear back from my vet for clarification. I think it is telling me she had an impaction in her Abomasum..but I am not sure it clarifies what it was.. It is written in very medical terminology. This was...

We lost Camilla this morning. She is eating buckets of banana peels with the Angel's now. We are taking her for a necropsy to see if we can find out what was going on.

This was yesterday after we moved her into the basement and she had been eating for a few hours. The bottom photo is how she was acting for the few hours before her nap with her "mom"

The last 2 mornings she has seemed like she wasn't going to make it through the day. I give her her 6 ml shot of Vitamin B, 5 ml Probios and 20 ml of Nutridrench. By the time the kids got home yesterday and today..she had her head up and was looking around for them. And she was eating hay...

I got home before the kids and headed out to the barn. Her temperature had risen..but only to 98. I agreed I would not make any decisions without discussing it with the kids. So we decided to make her a pen in the basement, because even with the 2 heat lamps and an enclosed stall..and 2...

I am afraid it looks like we are losing the battle. Her temp was dropping over the weekend and we were able to get it back up to 101 and get her eating. But it was back down to 97.5 this morning. I fear everything is shutting down. I am leaving work to get home before the kids in case I am...

Camilla the troublemaker would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Just an update..we had started her on 5 ml Probios, 6ml injection of Vitamin B and 20 ml of Nutridrench. After a few days her appetite returned with a vengeance. I stopped the Vitamin B and she was still eating ok. I don't know if I mentioned it, but she also needed help to stand up...but now...

All her bodily functions came back as normal

We may have an answer!!!! The second vet I took her to reviewed everything that my vet had done. And her observation is that there is some type of deep seated infection. She gave her a pretty strong antibiotic so she re recommended putting her on a week of Baytril shots to hopefully knock out...
