FFS ... at around the 20 minute mark "Samantha" responded - no bleep as some other chat systems do - waited 30 seconds then left the chat. so back to the start. That will teach me to grab a coffee.
A winch and a blanket. And some metacam. And a sizeable bill from the vet.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

She went down last week. Not sure what caused it, but been unsteady on her pins for a few days. Did a sweep for anything toxic in the paddock, but nothing turned up and her stool is fine. Had vet out last week for metacam and later for a multivitamin and minerals shot. Have manually lifted her up a couple of times a day with little sign of her weight-bearing so had a call in with the vet to send her off to join her lifelong partner in crime who left us for the eternal paddock in late May.
Vet turns up, and there's said goat looking relatively lively and attempting to move herself around on the floor.
So out came a blanket and a winch/hoist and we jacked her up on her feet, gave her another healthy dose of metacam and decided she gets a reprieve, see if we can get the circulation and muscle back in her legs.
She's a bu**er

She’s lovely looking, hopefully she’ll escape the curry pot for a long while yet.
by "long time yet" do you mean so as to be suitable for the Ice Fest curry pot ? that's a bit insensitive of you DSL.

Very elderly pet - in the region of 16-18 years old (we had the call from Prince Andrew to check). Originally obtained with a view to kidding and milking, along with her lifelong partner in crime who had to be put to sleep earlier in the year. Never got that far, so they just helped dispose of the insane amounts of ash and willow around our place, and kept the odd pair of lambs company.
Now it's the sheep looking after her
We're seeing signs of her trying to take her weight on her legs and use them to change position while in the hoist, so not a lost cause yet.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Oh, you're preaching to the choir with that one. I hate it too.
I've seen people do it in written form too, in posts on forums, which is even more ridiculous.Visiting from rrsport.co.uk
