This October surprise snow storm dump 2 feet of wet clingy snow on the northeast and particularly on us. The
Night of the storm our goat shed collapsed and crushed/trapped one of our goats.
We found her weakly crying and slipping away. We pulled her out from under tons of shed and snow – was pushed down into muck. We rolled her onto a bed sheet and slid/pulled/lifted through 2 feet deep snow many yards and then into our dining room onto blankets. We covered her in blankets as well and fed her molasses water until she rehydrated enough to drink on her own. She began to eat grain and hay. She menaces passing cats who she doesnt like. She can not stand on her own – her back leg is not working, might be dislocated.
We now have to take her to the vet and i hope its a simple matter of joint reduction. Will share photos of that when it happens.
Am also sharing some photos below of a tiny bit of the vast amount of storm damage here. We have no power, no internet so i am having to post by iPhone.
((hugs)) hope you & goat are all warm, cozy Looks like it will take a while to rebuild, clear trees.
Oh I’m so sorry to hear about the barn collapse! Yes I heard that storm was nasty. How did your goat turn out? I hope the vet was able to help.
I used to have LaMancha’s myself, they are so sweet!
