Hi
Sorry to hear about your girl, it's always difficult, there's always 'IF', and could it have saved them, been there, still feel bad about mistakes I've made. But it sounds like your girl went down very quickly, is the vet suggesting it's worms then? Or did she suggest anything else it could be?
I lost a goat with septicaemia, she went down and despite vet she died the following night. Could your girl have cut herself a little while ago? Doesn't account for the discharge though.
Good luck with finding some company for the boy.

So sorry that you lost her. It's always hard to lose an animal. It's also difficult to know when to call the vet and when to not call. Don't beat yourself up about it. As the vet says it probably wouldn't have made any difference, you have nothing to feel guilty about. It doesn't stop us feeling bad though. I still wonder about mine that I've lost. It's a natural feeling.


Hope you manage to find a couple of lovely goats to keep your boy company.

So sorry to hear your sad news, its such a difficult time when one of your animals is sick and can't tell you whats wrong.
