Hailstoning and sleeting today - I told Jinty she is probably better off lying there under her straw blanket; Her eye - the one I can see, that is - looks normal, and she does seem more aware of her surroundings. Moving her ear, and her front leg too. But ...I do think the damage has been done, and no amount of coaxing, wishing or anything else is going to change anything;.
I suppose its like having someone in a coma - you are never sure if and when they wake up, exactly how they are going to be. It does tire you out mentally as well as physically dealing with something like this, as its on you mind all the time, and when you get there in the morning you have to prepare yourself for the worst.
Carina is ok at the moment, as she keeps calling and Jinty bless her, bleats back, and Jinty bleats when she hears me. If Jinty goes, and there is no more bleating in reply, I am not sure how her friend will take it. She is in with Finlay last years pygmy kid, but he is up for sale, and if he goes, there is no other goat suitable to put with her.
Sounds a bit daft saying that when I have 19 goats, but they are all in their own groups/age brackets, with their own buddies.
