Speaking of Animals
|
The kind vet contacted CAPE and last week she brought the little goat to the CAPE Animal Sanctuary to meet the other animals. We named him Nigel.
One look at Nigel and you know you want to do everything possible to ensure he is comfortable and well cared for. He is enjoying the company of the other goats and eating like a champ! CAPE is committed to giving him the best life ever! We will provide a lot of TLC as well as palliative care aimed at optimizing Nigel's quality of life. |
At just a few months old this little goat was not growing and he was eventually rejected by his mother. A local vet was asked to euthanize him. But the vet noticed that the little goat was so eager to eat and explore his environment, that she just could not do it.
Instead, she took him home and bottle fed him until he was able to eat on his own. While tests revealed a poor prognosis - portosystemic shunt (liver shunt) and possible hepatic encephalopathy - the vet decided that for now, since the little goat is enjoying his life, he would need a safe place where he could be closely monitored and to be around other animals.
