This guy looks like my Casper; the Friendly Goat.
Jack, his brother, is dead.
He died Tuesday evening at Purdue’s Large Animal Hospital
He was on an iv but the medicine was not working
First diagnosis is kidney failure
I donated his body for an autopsy and for vet students to learn from
Wife and I went there today to say goodbye to him
He just looked like he was sleeping
He was a little more than 9 1/2 years old,
Being born early 2008
Thank you all for praying and especially my grand-daughter for being extra helpful in giving him treats and loving while we were gone on vacation.
The vet said even getting him help sooner wouldn’t have saved him. They said if he was human, he’d be on dialysis.
They said they’d let me know what the results of the autopsy reveal.
He was a good goat and my favorite. He was the Alpha and we interacted a lot together.

Sorry to hear you lost you goat friend.
