No sorries needed. Had prepared for this months ago. Just figured Id give the final update on her. Clyde just never recovered from getting sick and was up and down in health. She would seem to be on the mend for a week and then worse the following week. She would be good enough to warrant being out with the other does and then down enough to be pulled out and let to roam the property eating weeds and snacking on the hay stack. But last Wed. she needed help to stand for the first time. Still totally alert. Eating and talking. Then on Thursday, after being help up that morning she didnt have the strength to walk on her own. So we made her comfortable and gave her extra feed and treats cause Matt was coming out the next day to do some castrations. She was in bad enough shape that it took 3 times the normal amount of drug to put her down. It wasnt that she was strong but that her system was so shut down, the blood flow was compromised.
Its much easier to let them go when you have months to do so. But I will still miss her face and our talks.
