Goat straining to urinate

so sad, i am very sorry. you did a great job helping her tho., she knew you loved her.

This morning was very hard, even in sickness when I'd call her name every morning she'd answer me. Yes she was dearly loved almost to much, it's as bad as loosing a human. I'm going thru the stages of grief & guilty feelings if I'd only done this or that, second guessing my self if I caused her pain by trying to help her. Elsie had such a strong will to live when most animals get sick they quit eating or drinking & she never did. I have learned a lot during this experience. Thank you all for your support. Christine

Christine, I'm so sorry. Give yourself the time you need to grieve. Please don't feel guilty. Elsie obviously had a great and joyous life, thanks to you.

These feelings you are having are expected when you loose someone so close to your heart...in your heart. Unfortunately you just have to go through them it stinks. All I can tell you is that it will get better but it will take time. Just do what you can and let yourself go through the sadness. When you start second guessing try to get your mind onto something else. You didn't cause her pain by trying to help. Because she had such a strong will she wanted you to help and you did. But it was just her time to go and she knows how much you love her. Hugs to you...I know how awful it is and feel bad that you have to go through it.

How is Elsie?!! Haven't gotten an update in days. I hope everything is okay, but if she passed then I hope it was peaceful.

Just found this thread. Christine, I am so very sad about your loss. I do understand the pain of losing a goat you love as much as you obviously loved Elsie (and she obviously loved you). .... hugs hun
