I'm so sorry for the loss and the horrible tragedy you had to go through. It sounds awful and would send me into shock for a while. I have been through horrific events and all I can tell you is that the intensity of it does start to ease up eventually. So be kind to yourself because you are not only dealing with the grief of the loss but the circumstances that took her. Hugs and prayers to you. I am so sorry

I am so sorry, {{hugs}}
I have been there, my Vet brushed us off and wouldn't help. It was my first saanen, she was a beauty. My 13 year old son shot her, while I did the c-section. All were lost.
I dusted myself off, learned all I could about what to do when, with nutrition and meds, enlisted vets that would sell me the meds I need, like Inj CMPK and 10 years later I am a better goat owner for it. I still get sad when I think about my angel....HELP NOW. She's dying - how do we do a C section by ourselves - Goats

Same exact thing happened to me on our very first doe to kid...that we had bottle fed and loved. That was 7 yrs ago. I totally understand what you went thru. We lost them all in 19 degrees at 4am... Was horrible...but I did learn from the experience and it made me a stronger goat owner. I waited too long to put the doe down and do the c-section. The kids were too cold. ((((Sorry))))).

I'm so sorry you lost them all. Sometimes, no matter how well prepared you are, you will lose some. It's heart wrenching, but please don't drown in "if onlys" or give up.

Prayers for you. Remember He sees each little sparrow that falls.

Ia m so sorry that you and yours went through this horrible experience. I can understand fully the shock of having to decide to do something and then all to no avail. My prayers are there at your home.

I need to ask and maybe not he appropriate time--but is this Jenna? This is the owner to Warrior. Was this an Alpine doe?

Oh, I don't know what to say except that I am so sorry...

Be good to yourself; these things happen - they're the absolute pits, but they do happen.

I am so sorry for your loss & the terrible experience you & your family went through! We went through something similar with one of our does' here one time, lost the doe & her kids too. I was ready to be done with goats at least does' & babies but hubby still wanted them. It does get better & I hope we are better goat owners after experiencing things like this but it sure is hard at first.

Hi FarmerJohn, Yes, this is Jenna. Tenacity was a beautiful LaMancha - one whose genetics (paired with our Kastdemur's buck!) would have carried us a long ways...her kids were really big for being two weeks early, and they looked A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.


Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers - it somehow helps to know that we are not the only ones who've gone through stuff like this (duh!) and the support that we have received here is a huge blessing. Thank you again.
