When it rains, it pours, literally! Yesterday, after months of hot, dry conditions, autumn arrived with a bang, bringing storms and cold winds. The animals were tucked up in their shelters all day, and when dinner was served, we noticed a familiar goat face was missing - little Jack was still curled up in the straw. Jack is generally the first to lead the charge at meal times, so we knew something was wrong. Jack was quiet and inappetent - a trip to the vet was a must. Through heavy rain and lightening, we arrived in clinic after over an hour on the road - thanks to Dr Brydie for coming into clinic on such a stormy night to help! Poor Jack was found to have early signs of a respiratory infection and a slow rumen, and needed to be admitted. Jack is an absolute fighter, having avoided a fox as a day old and soldiering on to adulthood despite his stressful start as an orphan. We’re sure he can soldier through this health hurdle too, with a little bit of support. If you can help Jack’s vet fees, we would be so appreciative, as we still aren’t sure how much longer he will be in hospital.
