What a mess, you poor things. I'm glad everyone is doing well now.

I had an angora doe kid somehow pull her horn cap off while I was at the grocery store once. Blood everywhere! My bathroom and car looked like a murder scene. I deal with a fair number of broken horns but that one definitely needed to be rushed to the vet to be cauterized.

Wow. That looked horrific. Good thing you had access to a great vet.

@Southern by choice, I think it's understandable that you were wiped out the next day! You and @Goat Whisperer did really great. Looking at those pics again… wow, I can imagine it must have been a heck of a trip, added to dealing with a panicky goat in pain. I reckon if push comes to shove I can handle most emergencies (except when it involves my son!), but I don't know if I wouldn't handled this as well as you guys did. And kudos to the vet as well! So glad to hear Jane is doing better :)

Oh my word I have never seen anything like that. Very glad she is okay :hugs. You must have a wonderful vet to help you. Lots of the vets were I live don't even know how to de-horn or anything:(.
