Now I understand your dilemma, must be a difficult choice, are you going to suggest the dvd that Anke mentioned? must help their reputation surely? We are lucky we have a choice of vets round here, though it took a while to find the ones who seem to know what they are doing. Just hope they stick around for a few years.
With the vet this year ours seemed to come straight round, apart from the last one who was still a bit dozy, gave me the chance to cuddle her all the way home  :love: .   We sat in the van and just kept handing a new one to them as they brought the previous one out.
The doctor said it may be an operation, maybe a new knee, so I have to see a specialist next month.
Should have put in previous post, there was a choice of brothers, they paid £30 more for the boy who was disbudded. His daughter had been caught in the face from a horned goat, luckily just bruised.

I will suggest the dvd,  not sure what the reaction will be though....

 Will you put a post on here for help when you have your op? Or would you consider taking on a WOOFFER/ Helpx'er? We had them last year and they were very helpful about the place.

I know horned goats can be potentially dangerous if you're not 110% aware of them and their horns, however I have a Sanaen milker without horns that one minute wants a cuddle nd next minute  tries to bowl you over!! Given her size you have to be just as aware as with her mom with horns!!
