Description

In this deeply personal and emotional episode, host Deborah Niemann shares the heartbreaking story of her goat, Coco, who experienced a uterine rupture and hemorrhage during a challenging kidding in 2013. 

Deborah takes listeners on a journey through Coco's life, from her birth to her tragic passing after giving birth to quintuplets. This episode not only honors Coco’s memory but also provides valuable insights into the risks of uterine tears and hemorrhages in goats, how to recognize the signs, and what steps can be taken to prevent or address such emergencies.

Key Takeaways

  • Uterine ruptures can occur during difficult births, especially when there is excessive pressure or improper handling during interventions.
  • Goats are horizontal animals, so internal bleeding may not be visible externally. Instead, blood collects in the abdomen.
  • Warning signs include mental absence, lethargy, pale eyelids (indicating anemia), and disinterest in kids or milking.
