Goat baby won't nurse- Update

So, after 5 days, the little baby FINALLY drank from a bottle!! I'm so proud of her! I was able to get her to suckle from mama too! Thank you everyone for your support and advice! It is beyond appreciated!

She is super cute and just the most snuggly baby goat. We were given a pregnant goat and didn't plan on keeping the babies, but I don't know if I'll be able to part with them! Her name is Floppy and her sister's name is Skunkin. Skunkin has blue eyes, I'll post pics of her later today

When you post the pics of Skunkin start a new thread and put (pics) in the title. And put these pics of Floppy on the new thread again so that people who didn't follow this thread will get to see these too. Don't mean to sound bossy...I just think the whole world should see these pictures!!!lol!!!
