Hi Helene,
I'm really sorry to hear that you lost Patrick. Please give a hug to Wes for us. I know it must be tough on him but glad to hear that he is taking it well. It seems like this time of year, alot of goats get sick for one reason or another. It's hard to figure out why, but please tell Wes not to give up on goats. I wish you could have found a better veterinarian for Patrick but it seems that most vets just don't understand goat physiology enough to render positive treatment. I'm sure that alot of us from time to time feel that we don't understand goats completely. I know it does not make it any easier to take, but please accept my heartfelt sympathies and don't let it get you folks down too much. Patrick is in that place where all of our favorite goats play endlessly.
Best regards,
Gary
