Bobbi,
I'm so sorry! If we could only forsee every eventuality we would have to be All-knowing, and I don't think we've ever met that person yet!
Our little darlings manage to get themselves inro every trouble imaginable-so much so, that it would be impossible to anticipate what next in every case. Just when we think we have every loophole sealed they get more creative(but would we have them any other way?).That's why we have lists like these-to share how we can help others by our misfortunes as well as by our successes.
I had someone bring in a bag of sweet feed to the barn once,and didn't double check where they put it--so close to the goat pen that one doe who had been starved before we rescued her pulled it over, ate a lot and nothing happened----for five days----then she "ran out of" the little thiamine she had left in her system,went down with goat polio so severe that in spite of many thiamine injections she was gone in less than 24 hours.
I had a big stocktank for the horses in the same pasture where they shared quarters with the goats and llama for a year till the horse barn was finished-and only tonight did it ever occur to me to do it any differently!
My heart goes out to you!
