Yes I had Boofy.....big gentle giant.    Unfortunately a young inexperienced Vet effectively killed him by ignoring me....he had a mild colic & which progressed in a few hours to Pasteurella/Pneumonia.  She wouldn't give him the drugs I knew would save him.....she wasn't prepared to use the cascade system !!!!!!!

I knew he had died but not how. He was a lovely boy and fathered a good kid in my Pom. MInd you, her mother was a good goat with an excellent pedigree.
