You're right... sharing these experiences IS therapeutic, and also very helpful for future reference. Thank you for being willing to put all this information out here even though it is emotional and difficult.
I'm so glad you go the cast of Yukon's hoofprint. I took a cast of Cuzco's hoofprint several years ago and used it to make a stamp from rubberized modeling clay. I like to use it on thank-you's and greeting cards to my friends in the goat world.
I don't know if you've told the breeder what happened, but she would probably want to know. Since it sounds like there is a congenital problem, she may want to review her worming, feed, minerals, and goat housing. If there is any chance that this is genetic, she'll want to have her doe and buck checked out for lung and kidney issues.
@MosesBrowning: The rawhide bracelet is really cool!
