So sorry for your loss. Hard under any circumstances but exponentially more so when so many herd members are involved. Tough road ahead... Best wishes moving forward. :hugs

Thank you LS. :( I pray the rest of them are healthy and get clean results.

Maybe that's what Shaya really died from, like a friend mentioned... They said she had an abcess on her liver that ruptured. Maybe it was CL. :hit

I am so sorry. It is so hard to have to make that kind of decision. We had to put down my favorite ewe because she had a ruptured pre pubic tendon, she died in my arms. I understand your pain.

I got blood drawn on all the boys, except for Bergamot. I tried and tried and only got a little bit of blood from him, which ended up in the cap. Not sure if I accidentally squeezed the syringe or what. Anyhow...

He is short, and very hairy. I tried trimming his fur where I thought the vein would be. I still didn't get it. His vein was hard to find, if I found it at all. I can't put him on a stand right now... @OneFineAcre @Southern by choice @Goat Whisperer and anyone else with Nigies, do you have any advice on how to draw blood from Bergamot?

Thank you!
