sydneyjd everyone on this forum is passionate about their goats and would go without just to provide for them. You post about a sick goat that is obviously in need of a vet or at least someone who knows goats and can try to figure out whats wrong. When told some things you need to do, you came back with well my dad says twisted gut, we will just let the goat suffer for a week and then try to sell it. So here is the problem.
1, you asked for help and ignored it.
2, your goat is suffering and you are willing to let it continue
3, this isnt about you, its about the goat
Now I understand you are young and can only do so much. And it sounds like your dad isnt real interested in spending the time and most likely the money to help you either. And thats why you came here with your question. So you are in a tough spot for sure. Not being able to afford to help a beloved animal is a terrible thing to have to go though. But when you come back with, eh, we will just sell her in a week... that speaks volumes to your character. Most people are not going to respond in a friendly manner. So here is what I am going to suggest. If you cant have a vet out regardless of reason, you need to track down someone who raises goats locally and see if they will come out and look your goat over. Craigslist is a good place to look / post for help. Your feed store is another place. There are so many things you could be doing help your goat if you wanted to spend the effort to do them.
