We lost some beloved pets to rhododendron posioning and my daughter was hysterical saying "how can you keep doing this?" I had to ask that myself after feeling shell shocked from that experience but somehow we persevere. I hoe your new babies thrive and the next births go better.danniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927115644696786196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-72408550493006209012012-01-21T14:56:13.326-06:002012-01-21T14:56:13.326-06:00So sorry to hear this.

Results from the gross necropsy say that Viola also had pneumonia, which is frustrating because she didn't have any obvious symptoms like a cough, but the vet said that a lack of obvious pneumonia symptoms is typical in adults, so it can be tough to diagnose. <br /><br />LindaG - I never would have thought that Jo's situation could be a blessing, but she's a very heavy milker and now only has the one doe to feed, so she is helping to feed the triplets. We also have some milk in the freezer, which was going to be used for soap, but will now be used to feed the babies.Deborah Niemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754242197245805551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21054991.post-50446802535737178502012-01-20T17:24:29.061-06:002012-01-20T17:24:29.061-06:00Really sorry to hear that, Deborah. *hugs*
