Been nursing Al all day. He went down once, went on is side and I thought he was dying. Eyes were even starting to roll. got him turned over...massaged his abdomen...got him up...then got some baking soda in him. He was still up and down. Also recommended is Tide and something similar to Digel. Went to the store and got both. He was not crazy about the Tide.

Since he is doing ok. Is still weak but no bloating in a few hours. Will give him another treatment (MOM)...a little feed...and hope for the best overnight.

Wish us luck.

I went to a feed store...they said goat life expectancy is 7-9 yrs. I think it is more...likely 12-15. Anyway....even though Al is an old guy..we love each other and I want him to stay around a while.

Sorry to hear about your loss, my grandpa has goats and he is very fond of them. He is a farmer and he wont sell them he likes the milk.

Thanks. If your grandfather has any advice, I would welcome it.

Al is hanging in there. Still puny, still worried. Just got an new antitoxin recipe f he has been poisoned. I have been giving most of it...but am mixing the new recipe now.

I do think there was a new toxic plant growing. Age may have been a factor in the effect. I still feel terrible. Doing everything I can to save Al.

I was walking through the holding area for dogs of the Spartanburg Humane Society a few years ago and all of a sudden there's this goat staring at me. Scared the poo out of me as I wasn't expecting it. I never realized they could be pets. So sorry for your loss.

Pigmy Goats are so cool! I wanted one, but the then girlfriends nixxed that idea. Now in the Condo, we can only have dog and/or cats, and up to 2 of them. :mad: (What a stupid friggin rule!)

There's a guy either in Union Co or just across in SC that sells them. I have several people tell me they are easier to care for than a dog.

I'm so sorry LadyPanther, goats are sooo cool!

I hope Al pulls through!

Thanks guys. Al looks better this morning! Is eating treats enthusiastically and followed me this morning. Looks stronger. Am hoping we are out of the woods with this crisis.

Took the morning off. I can watch him for a little while. He is now just outside the window I am sitting by standing and munching on the salt block.

      Bryce Nut Huggers

      By d-dave · Posted

      Ahh yes, Bryce's superpower:  making middle aged forum dudes lose it! I'm sure I'd be lumped into the Nut Hugger category since I started the season pretty measured, and I can admit when he makes some good plays.  So flame on? The reality is that Bryce has shown he's good at the subtle aspects of being a quarterback.  The gamesmanship, those quick twitchy movements to get a pass off.  Those are some good plays he's made, but they results in a 12 yard play.  This season, when going down the field (a rarity) he's been pretty much a turd.  The moment seems to big for Bryce.  I'm glad he got mad yesterday, but the only person he should be mad at is the one who he sees when he brushes his teeth. Bryce isn't the guy.  We're just kind of stuck right now with a middling QB class in 26.  So what do we do?  I think we're stuck with Bryce playing for at least next season.  I think the Panthers NEED to go get a young vet QB to push him.  Time and development are important, but Bryce has had plenty of time right now.  He's not developing. I want Bryce to do well because that means my Panthers do well.  But I think it's pretty apparent that Bryce Young is not a franchise QB.  He's a back up level player.  We swung hard and missed.

      It was the worst D choking on Rico's revenge. 'Playing well' behind that was just not making mistakes. It's a gift and allowed him to get his QBR to a whopping 53.1 and the only player with over 50 yards receiving was...Rico. A sub 200 yard game agaisnt one of the worst Ds with the RB going off like crazy. That's nuts lol

      XL is a bust

      No way we can’t have these excuses about QB play. Talent is evident no matter what.  Only thing that varies is the statistics. XL is just an athlete, not a football player
