On New Year's Day I lost my 2 milk does and one of my big pack goats. I took him and one of the others that was sick to the vet and she said that something they ate had bad bacteria that killed the good bacteria in their rumens. The only thing different was that I had trimmed a pine tree next to the house a couple weeks ago and threw the boughs in their pen. I thought they would be ok for the goats. But it wasn't. The vet said it was something they ate because they went down so fast.
I am devastated. Now I need to buy a couple milk does for this year. They are as expensive as a trained pack goat.
