clara was euthanized today

Carol  ·  Jan. 6, 2013

she was in the midst of a pain crises..whatever has been going on with her was progressing to the point today of suffering. i will be taking her to the lab tomorrow for a post mortum. i wish we could have gotten to the bottom of whatever was wrong with her, but we didn't and i am so sorry. rest in peace clara, you were a very good little goat.

also pokey is at the animal emergency clinic...tammy noticed today that he was having trouble peeing. i did not want to risk a full obstruction with him so it was safer to get him in rather than wait til our vets opened tomorrow. they will get his bloodwork/urine tests done, give him some fluids, antibiotics and pain meds and i will bring him home tomorrow and follow up with our own vets when the test results are in.

Clara was a very dear sweet soul. ...she wasn't here long but in that short time she reached deep inside all the barn volunteers and i am sure the week day staff as well......you mattered Clara and you made a difference..always reme.mbered
