Bubble, one of our nanny goats, was off her food yesterday. I checked on her at 5pm, 8pm and 11pm. She was still off her food but not showing any serious symptoms. At 3am, when I checked on her again (a great way to bring in the new year!) she was settled down with Ramesses the young billy and she seemed quite comfortable. This morning she was still off her food. Then suddenly, the arrival of some fresh hay changed her mind and she started chomping her way through it.
She was back to full health this afternoon, eating more hay and bamboo leaves. Scare over. Tonight when I checked her, she was chewing the cud, a good sign that her internal workings are back to normal.
