Buckley is sick :(

[peachick]

Im waiting on the vet to call me back, but in the meantime I gotta talk....
We had a long heavy rain storm this morning. When it finally stops and I can go outside to make my rounds I see Buckley laying in a puddle, and wouldnt get up.... looks like he was laying there the entire storm!
I see no wounds or sign of anything on him. Eye lids are bright pink. so sign of diareha.
He wont eat but would drink water. He is breathing hard with an occasional moan.
I cant tell if hes bloated because he wont get up. Offered him baking soda, but he ignored it.
I literally had to drag him by the horns to shelter. He didnt even try to stand.
Gosh I dont know what to do for him. He's obviouslly in pain.

I don't know what to suggest but I will say I am thinking of you and Buckly.

Kat, I am so so sorry to hear this. Buckley stole my heart a long time ago - he will be missed by many here I'm sure.

(((Hugs))) to you and your family.


did the vet make it out? was he able to determine what happened?

 

[peachick]

thank you all.
The vet called after buckley died. She believes he died from bloat... but we dont know what caused the bloat.
He was loose on the property for a few hours on sunday afternoon and must have gotten into something... I just dont know what.

He was my first goat and the reason for my goat addiction. Im gonna miss him so much!
