Poor mama goat! She doesn't seem to know what to do with herself. She just stands there like she's lost. I even opened their gate so they could graze like I do most days (and made sure the chicken gate was CLOSED!), but she stayed in the pen. My other doe seems to be trying to comfort her and stayed closeby, which is very nice. I gave her a bath b/c she was covered in poo and she stood very nicely for that, which surprised me quite a bit. I think she understands that we had tried to help. 
She was calling the baby off and on throughout the day, but I think she remembered on her own that he was gone b/c it never went on long. He was such a pretty boy. We had originally planned to eat any bucklings, but he was such a big healthy boy, and so calm and friendly, we were considering keeping him for breeding and getting some more unrelated does. Well, now I am more experienced, so in the future I will give any kids the CD antitoxin as soon as they start acting a little off like he was 2 days ago. TSC was out. I'm going to check Southern States on Tues b/c it's near their school across town.
