Prayers, prayers and more prayers for Emily and her herd. Thanks for the update.

lonelyfarmgirl 03/16/12 07:43 PM

Oh no! This is absolutely awful! I just got a buckling from her herd and I love him. Reading this just brings tears to my eyes. I hope they pull through. I'll be praying for her.

Steph in MT 03/16/12 07:46 PM

Thank you for going to help and giving us all an update.
What a nightmare this must be to go through.
I hope Emily feels us all there with her in spirit holding her up and giving her and her goats strength...

wintrrwolf 03/16/12 07:55 PM

Oh no!! I wish I had logged in sooner. Em you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am hoping the best for you and your babies. Yarrow thank you so much for the update.

Please pray for the goats' recovery, as well as for Emily and her brother Andrew, who are doing everything they can to save the herd. Her beautiful Camaro is in particular need for prayer at this time.

Thanks, Goat Folk.

Omigosh, nooooo.

Of course, prayer and Reiki on its way.

Minelson 03/16/12 08:21 PM

I am so sad about this. I will be praying and Emily and her goats will be on my mind constantly..I'm so sorry. And feel helpless :( ((((HUGS EMILY))))

Alice In TX/MO 03/16/12 08:34 PM

Yarrow, thank you for helping, posting updates, etc.

What a devastating turn of events.

Huggs,
Alice

Pony 03/16/12 08:42 PM

Talking to Susie right now.

It's very bad. Please keep praying. This is beyond a nightmare, and as Yarrow said, it could have happened to any of us.

Oh, my poor friend Emily... My heart is aching for you, and I am praying for your deliverance from this horror.

mpete 03/16/12 08:46 PM

so sorry... :*(

emanuelcs34 03/16/12 08:48 PM

How Horrible, so sorry.

KrisD 03/16/12 09:04 PM

So devastating! Emily when this is over and you are ready I've got babies due in 3 weeks and I will happily donate a couple to your recovery. Your in my prayers. Hugs

chewie 03/16/12 09:09 PM

how awful. I am wishing her the very best.

beccachow 03/16/12 09:12 PM

Hugs, prayers, and strong positive thoughts being sent to Emily.

southerngurl 03/16/12 09:17 PM

I am so very sorry to hear this. Makes what I've been through with gangrene mastitis and losing one doe seem like not so much after all.

Yarrow, if the goats were poisoned, I would highly recommend large doses of echinacea. If you have a tincture, make sure it tingles your tongue and give 2 tablespoons for an adult doe 3 times per day- if alcohol extracted, pout a little boiling water over it first and give a couple mins to let the alcohol dissipate out. If just dry herb/root, make a very strong tea and give what you can get down them up to a cup or so. It is very good for poison. Also liver and kidney supportive herbs will help since they will take the brunt of it.

I am not that far and if I can do anything that can help, please let me know. I have a ton of herbs here. My number is on my website.

What a nightmare- hoping that they start recovering soon.

Backfourty,MI. 03/16/12 10:18 PM

I just got home from work & seen this thread so I'm sending Huge prayers & thoughts your way Emily. I just wish there was more I could do from here. What a terrible nightmare & I am so very sorry for your losses, I'm praying for the rest of them to recover.

I feel like Minelson, so helpless & so worried!
Thanks for the update Susie & Pony.

Ranger 03/16/12 10:19 PM

I just logged on and saw this. Emily, I'm sending every bit of love and health your way that I have in me. If there is anything that you need let me know and I will do my best to get it to you.

I don't have any babies on the way right now, but I would be more than happy to donate some when I do.

whiskeylivewire 03/16/12 10:30 PM

This makes me so sad. Prayers for all involved.

wow, I just saw this. I'm speechless. sending love and healing to Emily's herd

Shygal 03/17/12 07:43 AM

I just got home from work and saw this too :( I didn't know something like that could happen, I hope they get better :(

prairiedog 03/17/12 08:04 AM

Hope this morning brings news of recovering goats.

MOgal 03/17/12 08:15 AM

Sending good wishes and prayers to Emily.

Pony and Yarrow, have any of the goats actually died from this or are they just very sick? Man, like Emily needs one more straw!

Lovin' FarmLife 03/17/12 08:17 AM

Sending more prayers your way, Emily... <<<hugs>>>

Backfourty,MI. 03/17/12 09:08 AM

Still worried about Emily's goats & hope there holding up as well as they can during this. Any updates Susie(yarrow) or Pony? Just let us know when you can please. I'm sure I can speak for all of us here & we are all so concerned for them.

yarrow 03/17/12 09:25 AM

I know everyone is waiting for news... I don't think any of us have talked to Emily since last night.. (no more had died at that point, -9pm- but those that were gravely ill, hadn't improved either)...

Joan Coolidge (Amberwood) called me about an hour ago.. She will be seeing Emily later today and will call me with an update (of course I will post here, as soon as I know more)... Joan did mention that the hay is being saved, to be sent for analysis... If I understood correctly the seller has or will be contacted, in an attempt to keep this from happening anywhere else (((I don't know the specifics .. names.. ect.. BUT.. I would be cautious about any hay purchases from farms in the area between Willow Springs & Cabool until the tests are back & the exact cause is found )))

again, sorry I don't have more news this morning.. but when I do speak with Emily (or Joan) later today.. I will send along all of your well wishes and prayers... It will touch Emily's heart, I'm sure to know how much you all care...

susie, mo ozarks

Sherry in Iowa 03/17/12 09:28 AM

Thanks Yarrow..I can't get this situation out of my mind. It's a great heads up for Mo livestock owners on where not to buy hay until this is investigated further.

Oat Bucket Farm 03/17/12 09:45 AM

Thank you Susie, for the update. It took me forever to fall asleep last night, knowing that while I was comfortable in my bed, Emily was out fighting for the life of her herd. This just break my heart. Sending more hugs and lots of love Emily's way.

Me too! I tear up everytime I come here & read the new posts. After all the troubles with the dairy awhile back & now this, my heart just breaks for all of them.

Govero Farms 03/17/12 09:59 AM

Oh my gosh. It is awful. I hope the goats will be okay. SIGH.

I am wondering if the people use the sewage to put in the field.. Because my husband said that sometimes the sewage can make the animal sick and I cant think of that word right now. SIGH... It is crazy!! It is scary too!

Minelson 03/17/12 10:04 AM

Thanks for the update...I am so upset about this I can't seem to pry myself away from the forum. :( I am also very emotional about it too!! :( Praying!!!
