Pretty sure it's over

I think she started stargazing again. It is very minor, more a lifting of the head. She delved into her water, leaves and hay, but I think it's starting again. The morning will tell. I will call the vet tomorrow to put her down if she is doing it tomorrow. This is so not fair, she didn't deserve this.

I hope you have good news in the morning but if not know that you tried everything. Nobody can save them all not even the most experienced vet.

I'm so sorry to hear this I'm wondering if there is any way to "treat" the stargazing and I came upon this where they talk about turning a TV on and the goat snapped out of it.

I have never seen a goat star gazing....so I don't know what it is actually like. It must be a lot worse than it sounds. I feel so bad for you going through this...you don't deserve it and Sandy doesn't deserve it either. I sure hope she is better in the morning. Hugs to you...and I'm praying for a miracle

I'm waiting on the call from the vet now. She'll be at the Rainbow Bridge soon.

You did everything possible for her. I know how hard this is and how awful you feel and there is nothing you can do but get through it as best as you can. Sandy will be at peace and playing and running in heaven...happily waiting to be joined with you again. hugs to you...and check in for more hugs and support if you need

This is heart breaking news. To have gone through the ups and downs of this episode is the worst part of goat keeping. I'm so very very sorry.
