Y'all say some prayers for little Butterfly. I think she got trampled this afternoon. She ended up following the herd to the horse pasture. I didn't think she'd go that far. I don't know if a horse trampled her or if the horses chased the herd and the big goats trampled her. Either way, I found her laying out there in the dirt and in shock. She couldn't use her hind legs and I feared a broken spine. I rushed her to the vet and they took x-rays. It was hard to see much with all the growth plates and tiny, soft bones, but they think broken pelvis. I brought her home and the biggest concerns were internal organ damage. But she peed tonight and hopefully she'll poo before morning. She is able to stand up on her own now but she can't walk more than a step or two and she's very wobbly. I'm hoping that with her being so young her bones will mend quickly and properly and she'll be playing again soon. In the meantime, she and George are living our basement and Skeeter is beside herself. I'd love to leave George with his mom, but both babies do much better together and Butterfly needs her brother right now. Her poor little butt is all swollen. I'm putting a bag of frozen corn on it. Hopefully I'll have good news in the next few days.
