Little Bizzy 🐝 is home and settling in.

So many new sights and sounds… and COOKIES!!!!

She was definitely excited to see all of the goats and I can already tell she will be thrilled to join them after her maternity leave. Here is her first little video. She is absolutely precious! She made Christmas even merrier this year.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 🎄🐐
Please welcome Bizzy 🐝 to the Funky Family. Ranch Dad and I picked her up today from her previous home and we are on our way back to the sanctuary. She is sweet and curious… and pregnant!!! Bizzy has an appointment with UC Davis on Friday for an ultrasound.

Bizzy was impregnated when the neighbors large size goat jumped the fence. We are concerned about the size of the baby. Bizzy is 6 years old and has never given birth. She will likely need a c-section. Her human Mom has health problems and isn’t able tp afford medical bills for Bizzy or babies,

Thank you to everyone for donating to her vet appointment for Friday. I am going to hold off on fundraising further until we find out if she has to have a c-section… and the estimate. We appreciate all of the amazing support.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, Not a creature was stirring, not even a chicken. The stockings were hung on the tent with care, In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.The chickens were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads. ❤️🎄🐓

🆘 PLEASE HELP 🆘
Rescue doesn’t stop for the holidays! Please meet Bizzy Bee… 🐝

Bizzy lived with her Mom until May when her Mom passed away. Her human family loves Bizzy and never had any intention of breeding her, but the neighbor’s male goat had other ideas. He hopped the fence and bred her. The problem is that Bizzy is a dwarf goat and the male goat is a large breed goat. This will likely create complications during birthing… putting both Mamma’s and Baby’s lives at risk.

Bizzy’s human Mom has some heath issues and is unable to take on a baby goat, a high risk pregnancy and the costs associated with all of it. She reached out to our friends at Only Sunshine Sanctuary, who made us aware of the need for help.

Ranch Dad and I will pick up Bizzy on Christmas. She will come to the sanctuary until Friday when we will take her to UCDavis for an ultrasound.

This wouldn’t be so urgent, except that she is only 16 days away from her due date! She may need a c-section to get the baby(s) out safely. She hasn’t received any prenatal care up to this point. While she is at UCD, she will have blood work done to test for diseases, and she will be vaccinated and dewormed. It is possible, depending on their findings, they may also do a c-section at that time.

Ranch Dad is at Lowe’s picking up supplies to make a “nursery” area for Momma and Baby and will be working on that today ❤️

If you are able to donate to this precious little girl’s vet care we would greatly appreciate it. Any amount helps as it does all add up.
Thank you ❤️🙏🏻🐝

Girls dig Pirates! 🏴‍☠️
That is what I told Graham when he said he didn’t want to look like a pirate!… and yes, he also has to wear a satellite dish cone. Poor baby.
I told him that I’m pretty sure he can use the new look to get more treats and sympathy from his fellow pasture mates.

Thankfully Graham’s eye area looks good, even though the stitches are out and it is open. The patch and cone will hopefully give it some more time to heal. We will head back in a week for a follow up. ❤️🐐🏴‍☠️

GRAHAM
I am at UC Davis with our precious Graham. The stitches have come out from his eye removal surgery, (which was expected), but it doesn’t look great. He also had some bleeding out of his nose. I have been in contact with the vets at UCD, and they wanted to take a peek at him, so I brought him in. Thankfully he has been acting normal, but it doesn’t hurt to double check that all is healing well.

Graham came to us as a tiny baby with entropion. He was born able to see, but his eyelashes were curled in towards his eye. Every time he blinked, his eyelashes scratched his eyeballs … creating abscesses, and then blindness. The people who had him were irresponsible breeders, who never checked his eyes. Thankfully, he was relinquished to our sanctuary and we were able to get him care. We tried everything to save his vision, but nothing worked. He had one eye removed already, but we kept this eye in because it was healthy. Just recently it took a turn for the worse and needed to be removed.

GOOD LIST!!
Mama was pretty excited when she heard she was on Santa’s “Good” List

Mama, and her daughters, Snowball and Cocoa, came to us 3 years ago. Mama is reported to be 18 years old… which is extremely old for a goat. We are hopeful that Mama will share many more Christmases with us! ❤️

Baby Sascha Update:
Little Baby Sascha is all grown up now… she came to us a few months ago when she was found in an unlikely neighborhood… there are no other chickens and the finders were clueless at where she could have come from. The only idea was that she hitched a ride on some worker’s truck.. and hopped off.

They brought baby Sascha here as a 6 week old chick… and now she is a young lady. It’s been fun to watch her personality grow.

Here she is pictured with her date to the Christmas party lol

Lizzie Update:
Our little Lizzie continues to improve… Slowly but surely. She is starting to keep her legs in the correct position instead of kicking them backwards… which is a big “win”!
She will be staying at Medical Center for Birds for Christmas… but will hopefully come home at the beginning of the new year. It is so crucial that she heals properly.
Thank you to everyone who has donated to Lizzie’s care. ❤️

** Lizzie was supposed to be “Balut”, but her egg didn’t get to the restaurant in time and she and her siblings hatched in the egg cartons. Her legs were severely deformed.

Do you know what Balut is??? It is when a duckling embryo is grown in an egg for 15 to 18 days… then boiled alive and eaten. A duckling takes 23 to 28 days to hatch. This “food” is common in certain cultures and is sold all over CA and the US. If you know me you know how horrific I believe this is!!!
