Had such an unexpected and gut wrenching tragedy the day before yesterday. I so thought we were past the point where Scout was in danger of passing unexpectedly due to his rough start. I had even contacted the vet about him getting his first rounds of vaccines and he had literally just started eating fresh grass and a little solid grower grain. He was on a special puree of timothy and alfalfa pellets with purina goat grower and goat minerals for the last 5 weeks as part of his weaning process and was doing great. He was on day 2 of solids but still mainly his bottle purée when he started going south overnight. I thought the solids were bothering him so we went back to just the purée. Then he started the seizures. He had one about 7 pm then 10 minutes later 2 more. The last one took him from me. Devastating does not even begin to describe how I felt. I tried CPR but he was gone. It’s going to take a while for me to get over this one. He fought so hard and I was fighting right along with him. All my babies are special and take a piece of me with them but Scout found a new part of my heart and took it with him that I never knew I had. I will never forget you my little Scout. 💙
