This little girl has had more issues than any of our other goats to this point. She was the runt of four goat kids born to Violet in the spring of 2021. There are concerns associated with that and you always worry if they’ll pull through, but Minnie Pearl is a fighter and is now about 5 months old. After she was disbudded she came down with pneumonia but Megan caught it in time and was able to get it treated. But the other day she came up lame with some minor swelling in one of her front legs, and when it worsened over the next couple of days we knew it was time to make another trip to the vet.

After an X-ray the veterinarian determined that Pearl actually had a small break in her leg. We aren’t sure exactly what caused it, but it will heal on its own in time! So Pearl will be isolated from the rest of the herd (with her sister Calamity Jane for company) for a little while until she’s all healed up.
