Can our GOAT live without her front legs?

We noticed this morning that Luna's struggling to walk & her legs have unfortunately, gotten worse. We have a few possible solutions and today we're gonna try to make this old girl feel better.
Hi there! 👋🏻 We live on a 1-acre farm right in the middle of the busy city of Phoenix, Arizona! Our names are Kevin & DaNelle, and we moved here in 2009, when our kids Ethan & Lydia were just 6 & 4 years old 🥰 Over the years we've raised goats for milk, chickens for eggs, built a fish/swim pond, planted fruit & nut trees, and grew a large garden full of veggies. We've also raised a bunch of other animals like pigs, sheep, turkeys, geese, peacocks, and more!
Now that our kids are away at college, we have settled into doing what we love most -- which is raising & breeding goats ethically to improve genetics. But don't worry, we'll forever love our goofy pet goats like Luna the herd queen & Willow the stump lover. We also still love raising chickens for eggs, gardening, tending to the fruit & nut trees, and growing fish in the pond. We use the fresh goat's milk to make cheese, butter, yogurt -- and we use that + everything else we harvest on our little farm to make delicious meals. Having a getaway from the busy world right in our backyard brings so much joy to us each day, and we hope it brings some to you, too. 🥰

"She's not going to live forever..." She will in our hearts 💕

[@lesliesellers959]

Don’t make me sad 😢

[@jrsf222]

@@lesliesellers959 you are definitely not alone.❤

[@SapphireFoxFarm]

I’ll burst out crying when that video comes😢

[@melissaann2737]

I will cry too. Buckets full.

[@tinydancer36]

We don't want Luna to suffer...if her quality of life is compromised it isn't fair. She's had the best life with your family. ❤️

[@markharan86]

Anyone else love how Danelle thinks the goats will behave and not all go into labour at the same time to mess up her stall schedule

[@danii1341]

It's the funniest thing, animals will wait. Every time my mom's dog had puppies it was a day she was off or ended up being forced off (nurse) so she was home 😂

[@jessicasevigny1206]

The dates are predicted dates, if more does go into labor than stalls. She knows who can be together in a stall.

[@Weedemandreap]

🤣

[@graceignacio306]

@Danii ours did too on her 2 pregnancies. She waited for us to get home. Then, pops them out immediately. She's about to get spayed, next month. So, no more babies for her even if she loves newborn puppies.

[@barbtries]

I'm so sorry. Before my beloved chihuahua passed on, I took him to the vet. She said, "old age is not a disease." It's all about the quality of life; if she has none, I'm sure you will make the right decision for her. At least she got to have some fun with a buck recently!

[@micaylabirondo836]

I wish you all rainbows, kisses, and hugs this holiday season! And may Luna be forever the herd queen. 🌈💗🤗🐐

[@nancycowan6109]

Oh my darling Luna. With my bad hips and knees, I feel your pain. Please feel better, old lady. ❤️💔

[@BigBugGay]

Me three seconds into the video :NONONONONONO NOT LUNA Edit: so very glad she's not hurt and you guys are working towards making her as comfortable as possible!

[@kailand3056]

DaNelle, can you have Luna’s front legs X-rayed to find out whether there are internal problems? Perhaps you could send the X-rays to a vet school to have them looked at by a specialist. Luna is my absolute favorite goat❤ and I really want to see her to get back to living her best life!

[@jessicasevigny1206]

The vet said the X-ray would just confirm what they know about her weak joints from her previous owners not trimming her feet.

[@Kristan220]

Poor Luna, she’s such a sweet soul, Luna will always be the queen of the herd no matter what. It’s so great that Luna has a loving home with lots of friend’s, and such amazing owners. Happy holidays!

[@diannajepson8708]

Poor Luna. Praying you can help her continue to have a happy life on your farm.

[@ceatonbusch]

Awh Luna, we're all hoping for the best!! But you lived one good life ❤️❤️❤️ seems like it's almost time to be with penny To us, they are only here for a short time, But to them, we are their whole life Thank you for making it a good one ❤️

[@DaisyA310]

Hope luna enjoys her boots Wishing her all the best all the way from Britain!

[@Straw-berryy]

Same but from Wales in Britain!

[@anniet4619]

Sadly sometimes we have to think what’s best for our animals. She looks happy and content for now, which is good❤

[@moomoocow4100]

My absolute favorite thing about your channel is that y’all are compassionate and loving and really bond with the goats, but you also have realistic practices, expectations, and show love to your herd in the best way possible. You guys are amazing examples of what it’s actually Like to be animal lovers. ❤ y’all always do what’s best and that’s what i admire most!

[@jessicasockriter2654]

You and your family have done the best you could do for Luna. She has lived a long, fun filled, safe, and happy 12years. The hardest part is knowing when to make the end call on your farm animals. Praying for you all.

[@Megpie8]

DaNelle's hair stylin game is on point! get itttt Also Tatum's parkour/zoomies around the pen were cracking me up

[@cincitycindy7691]

@10:30 "she's just regular fat 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 best thing I heard🤣all day! Saying prayers for Queen Luna. There is power in positive thoughts 😁 Luna you got this girl.. boots are made for walking so when Mom fits you with your boots, you won't walk, you'll strut (as the song "staying alive" plays in the background) ☮️💚🤗

[@PADS62]

Or the song "These boots are made for Walking". It's a great oldie! 😍🤩

[@Sekhmet1977]

Hoping Luna improves and is around with a good quality of life for as long as possible. She's a special girl.

[@Weedemandreap]

Thanks for all your tips and advice - we’ll definitely try some of them out! ❤

[@jaylineberry]

I think she might need a brace in her knee area. I hope that it woks 🤞

Your welcome

[@desjaraeorczykowski7727]

Not sure if this applies to goats but when we had difficult horses who didn't like to take their pills we sometimes would soak the pills in a little bit water then put the paste in a syringe and then it was easier to give by mouth.

[@jessicasevigny1206]

@@helenaschreibman9035 Dr.Pol would be better he has more experience with farm animals.

[@BanglesAU]

poor old Luna, I hope you can keep her comfortable. She will be missed but never forgotten when the time comes for her to cross over.

[@PrincesslilBB]

I can just imagine Luna walking around in 👢. I can just see her prancing around the boys!!

[@jrsf222]

I love your landscaping and how you’ve managed to keep your property actively providing for the family unit…yet a beautiful series of videos for us. Just a wonderful productive family indeed. Your viewership tells the story‼️

[@jewels3596]

I'm so thankful that you guys are going to do what you can to ease Luna's pain. I understand the pressure you're probably under from viewers to just keep going, whatever it takes...but I also know there comes a time when it's much more humane to put an animal down. I appreciate the struggle between those two options as we've gone both routes with pets before. Luna is precious and a fan favorite! We'll love her wonky walk and crusty hooves forever! 🥺🥺💜💜

[@EvaVilla-pm5mv]

Oh my gosh this cold air has my arthritis acting up and walking like Luna. I feel for her.

[@bevanmudge867]

My heart breaks for Luna and you guys it is one of the most heart wrenching things to watch an animal that you love so dearly and has become part of the family growing old and the ailments that go along with it . Keep your heads up guys Luna is a fighter and with your love and support I know you will find a way to make her life more comfortable. Merry Christmas to you all and I hope you have a safe and healthy New Year

[@Kristan220]

I love the way the stalls are turning out, they look absolutely amazing and should be much easier to clean when the baby’s are born! Can’t wait!!!

[@susansollee1839]

If Luna can be helped , you’ll do it. I’ve always loved her. 🌻🌻❤️❤️❤️❤️

I would think the Vet could ok Daily Meloxicam for pain. If she's not in as much pain, she may walk more. I'm sorry sweet Luna❤️
