THat all sounds promising, I am so pleased  :)  My goats have seen me in my pjs by torchlight a few times now, I think its proof of what an impact they have on our lives, they are very special animals  :)

Won't hurt to worm and fluke her anyway, especially if she's due.

Very glad to hear she's seeming better - don't know quite how goats worm their way into our hearts so much, but they do  :)

Hopefully, Esme  is on the mend now.  Goats are funny creatures, when they are ill they get really miserable, and its so worrying when you do not know what is the matter.

I have spent many hours over the years, listening to see if a goat has a rumbling rumen, and doing likewise with the horses.  People probably drive past and think what a batty old woman I am when they see my ear pressed to the animals side........but those noises in the gut are like music to my ears ....its when there is no noise that I get worried
