You guys are great!

During my time of need for assistance with Cecelia, I had replies within minutes. I did not know until later, that some of you even sent PMs with phone numbers to call if I needed to.
I told Lisa yesterday that someone would be there, and this forum came through for me.
I hope I will be able to help others in the future.

I admit that I am a crotchety old guy that often resembles the south end of a north bound pack animal, but you guys really touched me.

Thank you ALL

SPIKE

That is why I love this place. We are like one huge family. Everyone doesn't always agree with each other but when push comes to shove we are there for each other.

We really like crotchety old guys that love goats.

This place is the best & we have the best people here too!!

Yes, we are like a big goat family here.

Remember, Spike, that we are ALWAYS here.

We're kinda like the goat version of the Code of the Road.

If you are on the side of the road with something wrong with your ride, you expect a brother or a sister to stop and ask if they can lend a hand.

If you are at your wit's end, with something wrong with your goat, you post here and the Crazy Goat Folks help out.

It's just the way it is.

I like old and crotchety. I even married one of those!

Although he wasn't old when I married him...I think I made him that way!!

Big hug to you Spike! I'm sure you will be there for everyone when needed. Sometimes we all just need a little support and confirmation that yes we are crazy~~and we are not alone

I just wish things had turned out better for you, and hope for a much better next time!

I LOVE this board! So many experienced, at the ready, helpful and kind people.
I know I can come here with an emergency and get better answers than I would get from a local vet.

You are the one to be commended here Spike, you didnt know there was dead kid holding up the process.
You got her to vet. All we did was give you quick advice.

Folks anytime you have a stalled labor get help now. You either have expired kid or severe enough malpresentation that the doe gets exhausted and/or stops labor.
