A local veterinarian was able to see Comet香蕉视频直播檚 mother, also called Amy, through her difficult delivery, keeping her alive long enough for her to start suckling her kid.
Somehow, she managed to stand on her four legs so that Comet could feed on her colostrum-rich milk 香蕉视频直播� the natural formula goatherds call 香蕉视频直播渓iquid gold香蕉视频直播� for its life-sustaining nutrients.
香蕉视频直播淪he did everything she needed to keep her baby alive,香蕉视频直播� Enns-Haywood said.
Tragically, Amy the goat died early the next morning. With her mother香蕉视频直播檚 milk running low, Enns-Haywood and her neighbours tended to Comet. Enns-Haywood said she tried nursing him through a bottle she香蕉视频直播檇 bought for baby girl, Riley.
Comet was having none of it, but nearby Jerseyland Organics came through with a special goat bottle and a supply of bovine colostrum. Meanwhile, about half a dozen others had volunteered to help.
香蕉视频直播淲e had plans A, B, C and D rolling by 9 o香蕉视频直播檆lock Sunday morning,香蕉视频直播� Enns-Haywood explained.
香蕉视频直播淚t was really touching to have the farming community come forward like that.香蕉视频直播�
Comet is 香蕉视频直播渄oing awesome,香蕉视频直播� she continued, noting that the kid is probably more of a handful than newborn Riley ever was. 香蕉视频直播淚 find him more high-maintenance,香蕉视频直播� she laughed. Riley and Comet have grown quite close, she added.
Amy the goat came to Fuster Cluck with another goat, Clarisse, who gave birth to three kids on Dec. 13. Comet snuggles with them at night.
The Haywoods said they will plant a tree on his mother香蕉视频直播檚 grave after the spring thaw.
