Unwell goats

On Good Friday last week, two of our billies were unwell. As it was a bank holiday, the vet was unable to call out so we had to take them both in the land rover to the surgery in Newcastle. They were given some medication and brought back to the goat paddock. I'm pleased to report both made a recovery. The culprit we believe was some daffodils growing outside the gate. We think someone visited the goats and in all innocence, picked the daffodils to feed to them. Sunny was one of the billy goats taken ill but he is also the boss and would have had the lion's share of the daffodils. We are removing them and will plant something in their place which is not toxic to the goats.
