The goat that was recently dropped off at our farm by the OSPCA, that had been found by them anchored with a chain that had cut through her neck because it was way too tight, is now on the mend here at Painted Rock Farm. We have named "Roe" and she has been making great progress. Her wounds around her neck are almost completely healed and she is settling in quite well.
Within a matter of days, we had her taking treats from our hands. Still guarded she would inch her way towards us knowing that her reward would be a tasty treat that she just couldn't resist. Being able to get her to come to us has allowed us to treat her in order to give her the best chance for a full recovery.
Roe is a funny looking girl as she is missing the top halves of her ears, we are not sure why they are missing but believe that perhaps they had become frozen during the winter and had fallen off due to not having blood flow to them. It's just a guess but most likely that is what has happened.
We have her on a healthy diet which will allow her to start putting on some much needed weight and with her wounds on the mend we can now turn our attention to rebuilding her trust with humans.
