When my Lamancha was 2 months old she got her back leg stuck and it too ended up falling off! She is almost a year old now and she acts like a normal goat, runs, jumps and does goat flippies. I too was worried about her being bullied, but she is pretty high on the totem pole. If your goat goes back to trying to walk on her stump get her some dog shoes. It will protect it while it heals. Good luck with your sweet goat!

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

Thank you so much!! That gives me so much hope that she'll be able to live like a normal goat again!

[@jacquelineraines2074]

I'm so glad you're doing the right thing for Poppy. sometimes it's not about profit but what's right. what a horrible accident for her!

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

It was heartbreaking, but she's doing so well. Thank you!

[@ArmorofGodtx1]

I am So sorry about Poppy. I am glad you kept her for your mascot. She will need the herd so I hope she can go back safely.❤❤

[@MORPHMORPH-p5w]

Hi, this is Peter. I’m so sorry about the tragic accident that happened with Poppy. Truly heart wrenching. I’m going to pray for her and continue praying for you and great success with your channel.. You are a worthy, young woman of God and you shall prevail :-)

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

Thank you so much for the prayers! ☺️💖

[@kimberlyearly8918]

Holy moly! That’s wild! I’m so glad she seems to be doing well. She’s beautiful and her babies are adorable.

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

Thank you! ☺️

[@denisebair9542]

Awww poor Poppy! I’m so glad she’s your goat! She deserves the love and compassion you are giving her!

[@Kawaii0504]

So happy to see her doing ok. Keeping her as a pet is a best decision for a a loving goat. Hard time comes with something great. The thing you only have to do is try. We always support you and your farm family❤

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

☺️☺️

[@schleichandfarmgirl]

Oh my gosh! That is so crazy! I hope she continues to do better!

[@cheyennestarr3138]

I'm just glad she is ok. Poor thing

[@MORPHMORPH-p5w]

Hi Evelyn, this is Peter. I hope everything is fine on the farm. I have been praying like a warrior that the severe weather has not affected you or your family. God be with you. Peter the pilgrim

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

Thank you so much! I got your email right before the power went out 😅 We didn't suffer too much damage. I should have a video out about it in a couple days.

[@benefactr1840]

Thanks for not giving up her with all she went through all ready and letting her stay on your farm! I know they are farm animals and not pets so it's hard for use normal people to understand putting down a animal like that is just what has to happen.

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

Poppy is definitely a survivor!

[@TheLittleFarminmybackyard]

Oh my! I am surprised she is alive!😮 I’ve never seen a three legged goat. I know you did the best thing for her and I hope her recovery goes well. ❤

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

It was really hard but I'm so glad things are going better for her!

[@DoubleKTricks]

Oh no so sorry! You’re such a good owner and take the best care of them❤❤

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@steventrompeter9883]

Give Poppy a hug and a scratch for me. She's a tough little goat. She can become your barnyard ambassador. 😊

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

I definitely will! Thanks

[@JackofWhitechapel]

I had an employer who had fainting goats; one year the kids were born way too early it was still frozen here, and because of the cold and them being early their hooves ended up falling off for some reason. Always confused me how it could happen but this sort of makes it easier to understand

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

That's crazy!!

[@JackofWhitechapel]

@EvelynsFarmDiaries for sure, but it also regularly gets to -50 C here when they were born so I assume that had an influence

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

@@JackofWhitechapel I'm sure! Animal births and the cold don't mix.

[@GloriaWilson-e8q]

Sweet Poppy. Poor girl, but she'll have a wonderful home with her favorite person. 🥰

[@WildlyEq]

I'm so sorry that Poppy had to go through this 💔 life won't be the same for her but I'm so happy you are keeping her and doing what is best for her. Sending so much love to Poppy! 💕

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

It was really hard, but I'm so glad she's doing better!! She's a strong goat for sure.

[@WildlyEq]

@@EvelynsFarmDiaries I'm sure! Glad you are both keeping strong 💪🏻❤️ this pretty much sums up animals, right?

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

Pretty much! 😅

[@KathyHoliday-m4z]

Oh no terrible 😂 so horrible I wouldn't be able to handle that prayers for her and her babies and you too thank you Lord ❤❤

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

Thank you ❤️❤️

[@FaithNFarmstead]

This is wild!! I wonder if from the original accident she didn’t have feeling in the leg? Goats and baling twine…. I’ve had some scary scenarios with this myself 👀 I’m so sorry. What a stressful situation. You handled it with grace, and like a pro! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

Thank you. It was a very crazy day for sure! Bailing twine is now my biggest enemy 😒

[@SusanBuckingham-ut2ez]

So sad! Glad she's doing well. Great decision to keep her. All will be well.

[@karenrasmussen1505]

Poppy could also be a part time brush clearing and companion animal for someone as well.

[@MORPHMORPH-p5w]

Hi, my name is Peter I just joined your channel. I think it’s great :-) God bless you. I wish you great success I’m going to tell everyone I know about this channel.

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you're here ☺️

[@ireneburgess5760]

Bless you for Loving Poppy enough.....

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

I love her so much!! 🥹

[@sp6754]

How can a goat be trapped starving and no water for days and nobody notice from the people you had covering for you? That’s ridiculous and somebody is to blame, more responsibility and accountability when you have living animals

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

I guess they just didn't notice she was missing. I know if I was home it wouldn't have happened but there isn't anything I can do at this point. They don't even know it happened.

[@pauley1148]

Poppy is so beautiful 😊

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

☺️💖

[@gloriathefarmgirl3531]

Oh no that’s terrible, so glad she’s doing okay. I also have a goat with a broken leg. My vet told me to put him down but I decided to cast it and see if it heals, and he walks on it almost normal now. I didn’t wanna sell him with his broken leg not knowing how he’s doing. So I decided to weather him and keep him. So I guess he’s my little pet goat, living his best life.

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

That's so awesome! The crazy thing is throughout this whole situation I didn't even think of the possibility of putting her down. I was so determined to help her and I'm sure you were the same way ☺️

[@gloriathefarmgirl3531]

@@EvelynsFarmDiaries Yes for sure! Poppy is sure a fighter!!

[@DustyBottomBoysAK]

Wow, that's an unfortunate situation, but it could have turned out way worse. Despite how awful it was, finding her too late would have been heartbreaking. Keeping her despite not being able to breed her again shows that you truly care for your animals, not just treat them as farm factory workers, so kudos to you! Even though you aren't able to breed her again, you could still milk her, so she wouldn't be completely 'lost revenue'. Perhaps that may be a good option to consider? I don't know if you are interested or set up to milk, but it could be a great opportunity for you to make the best of a bad situation. You may make a lot of good connections when selling your kids who may be interested in the milk aspect as well. Just a thought, networking is important! It's is also very mature of you to consider it from a business perspective, too. As a farmer, you HAVE to consider the financial implications of your operation, otherwise before too long you'll be belly-up like too many small farms have gone over the years. You seem very level-headed, especially for your age. I hope your parents are very proud of you! -Dusty

[@DustyBottomBoysAK]

Also, I'm really surprised that they weren't concerned about keeping it clean, or worried about infection. Is it already closed up, so there's no need to try to bandage it somehow? Not that a goat would ever leave a bandage alone, but still. Did they suggest antibiotics or anything? Maybe an antibiotic spray?

[@EvelynsFarmDiaries]

I could milk her but I unfortunately don't have the set up for it right now. And then I would only get milk from her for a few months because she would dry up and then to get more from her I'd have to breed her again. It's a good idea but I don't think it'll work in this situation. I was definitely concerned about infection and thought we would need to wrap it. For some reason, they turned the idea down. They did give me a spray for her instead.
