The short video is of our little goat Flash. His birth was uneventful but the days afterward were anything less than extraordinary. You see we keep our newborns inside for a day or two to make sure all is well. Flash and his sister were doing well and went outside to the barn to be with the others in the kid barn. Within 15 minutes of putting him out there, the once full of boundless energy kid is laying on his side crying in pain. We whisked him back into the house to try to figure what was wrong with him. After hours to checking every book we had and consulting other goat owners online, we concluded he had a blockage internally and could not "go".
So what do you do with a goat that can't go? We spent the next several hours rubbing him all over to stimulate his little body. After about and hour and half, the blockage pushed out and the flood gates opened. 24 hours later, Flash went from standing around like a statue to the bubbly goat in the video. So he now plays catch me if you can!
PS. As an extra bonus, Henry the cat photo bombed the video. Make sure you watch out for him.
