ETA Oh, and Dr Shane said not a single pellet of the shotgun blast touched her DH was so worried he'd hurt her worse.

Sometimes it doesn't matter how much actually money was paid for an animal as to how much it is really worth to us.

I can't beleive you just told them I cried over a goat......I'm sure I didn't. If I did it was a medication thing. My doctor did change my medication sometime around then didn't he? I'm pretty sure. It wasn't that goat. It was the medication. You should have ate that goat, she's got a bad attitude.

What a wonderful success story!

Good for Rosie and her resilience, good for your vet for his skill, and good for you for giving her a chance at life. (I would have done the same thing.)

I can't believe you just admitted to needing medication LOL And her only bad attitude is to milking by hand

DD just reminded me I should thank Cheryl for the use of the Vetricyn. We have really had some fantastic results from it. I do think it helped the speed of healing.

That's one lucky goat. I've seen goats with less serious injuries not make it even with vet care.

Sounds like you should send these pix to the Vetricyn people for a testimony
