Note
This note is in refernce to Bubbles a Dwarf Nigerian Goat
- Feb. 12, 2012
Bubbles had a stillborn undeveloped fetus sometime between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. this morning.
The scapula on the left side was visible as were some of the first ribs and the fore skull was not present. It was also missing some skin on the fore legs. We did not determine the sex, though the rest of the fetus was intact.
Bubbles, who's first kid had leg development issues last year, seems healthy enough. Right now we are chalking it up to either nutritional deficiency (selenium may be the culprit again) or simply a genetic predisposition to poor kidding (small uterus?).
