This afternoon I received a call from a couple of OSPCA agents asking me if I could take in a goat that they had possession of. Within an hour they arrived with this frightened little creature. It's previous owner had her attached to a short chain with a collar so tight that it cut into her flesh, so deep in some spots it started to bleed.
The poor thing was so scared when we put her in one of our pens, she jumped over the 4 foot bars and continued jumping from pen to pen. We left for a couple of hours just to allow her to calm down and when we returned she had settled somewhat but still not allowing us to get close.
By evening chores she was laying down quietly in her pen, the grain I left for her was gone and I could tell she had been eating some hay. I managed to get close enough to her for a second, just enough time to spray her open wound with some wound spray. Tomorrow morning with the help of my husband we will get a chance to better assess her injuries and deworm her. She is also underweight so with deworming her and getting her on a proper diet we can start putting some weight back on her.
