Vets

Apparently Bonnie has a swollen brain (cerebro-cortical necrosis) caused by vitamin deficiency, caused by malfunctioning rumen caused by stress caused by her move to a new environment. The cure is jump as high as you can and grab the vets bill right at the top. In other words:
  • Inject steroids (to un-swell the brain)
  • Inject B vitamins (to correct the vitamin shortage)
  • Inject antibiotics (to kill off the unbalanced rumen)
  • Drench with probiotic rumen stimulator to get the rumen going again. (Drench means force feed with a giant syringe)
Vet also looked at the itchy goatling (called Gwennie) - and seems to think it's fine.
