Wow, it may not look like it, but she has put on probably 15-20lbs. She looks a lot better!!!

I just weighed her again. She started out at 93 (actually less as we didn't weigh her till she'd been on this eating program for a while) and today she is 108.4!

Here she is and a picture of her eyelids. Are they looking good enough?

 

[ksalvagno]

Eyelids look good. They are probably a 4 on the FAMACHA chart. See she is improving!

 

[Little-Bits-N-Pieces]

So, do you think it's taken 7lbs of grain for every pound she's gained? (105lbs of grain approx.)? That's how much they say it takes for a goat, just curious.

So I should keep up the red cell?

I have no idea and with all the supplements I am just not sure what's helping her put on weight.

 

[ksalvagno]

You could probably quit the red cell. Just keep an eye on her though and start back up if she lightens up.

 

[Dayna]

She was 115 pounds as of yesterday. So still gaining but not as fast even though she's still getting the same feed.

Good Job Dayna!!!

I thought I would post another update on Cloud. She continues to grain weight!

I think she looks fine now, but I see her everyday. Does she still look thin to you guys or does she look normal weight for a saanen?

Her sister Bonnie is larger boned than her and looks larger, more meatier. But many of the saanens I've seen around here have more of a hollow look like Cloud.

i think her eyelids are starting to look a bit pale, what do you think?

 

[Little-Bits-N-Pieces]

Wow, she's gained quite a bit of covering since the last pics. She still looks like she has about 15-20lbs more to gain, but she looks waaaay better!
She would score about a high 2-2.5 out of 5 on the body condition score now

 

[ksalvagno]

Wow! Can't believe the difference. She looks great! She could still use a little more weight.

 

[happybleats]

I agree....much better...keep up the great work...

 

[Dayna]

What do you guys think of her eyelid coloring now? Does it still look good? I've discontinued the red cell since that last update.

 

[ksalvagno]

Eyelid color still looks good.

 

[happybleats]

I agree...

 

[Dayna]

So I thought I would throw in another photo update of Cloud tonight. She's looking really good.

 

[Little-Bits-N-Pieces]

She looks fabulous now! :shocked: What a transformation! Great job :thumbup:
