We had to take Perky to the vet yesterday. When he was two weeks old, he had his horn roots burnt off by the vet but it wasn't entirely successful. A couple of shards of horn kept growing. One of them was about 15cm long and had become dislodged. The trip to the vet was to have them both removed and the stumps cauterised.
The operation was over in less than ten minutes. He was revived immediately and a couple of minutes later was eating a lettuce we got in the neighbouring shop. He was back at the goat paddock within half an hour and behaving as if nothing had happened.
