Goat shivering violently | Too cold too fast | Tic-Tac struggling and not sure why

[@jjdogfather5604]

I wonder if Tic-Tac would wear a blanket or dog coat like Jami and Lester put on their horses during real cold weather. Glad she had you to warm her.

[@zioncreekfarm]

She might. She was none too happy about me putting my coat on her

[@MissBootsee]

My cham looks naked too. I really think you are right. too cold too fast! Glad to see her up and moving.

[@nada7.077]

Poor little Miss Tic Tac. I’m glad she’s ok and I pray she doesn’t have any more issues. I love your darling little goats. 0 degrees here at 8:30 AM. Went from record highs all Spring and Summer to freezing cold within a week. God bless you all and keep you safe ❤️🙏

[@elizabethcooper23]

There all so cute! Prayers go out to your goats that all stay well.

[@ruthashcraft6679]

Poor tic tac….maybe she just wanted a daddy hug 🤗. Maybe she needs a nighttime snuggle buddy. Is it possible to bunch them up in one or two stalls?

[@MSJERSwenson]

Thank goodness she's ok...hugs little one!

[@sharonhavron3000]

Sure hope Tic Tac stays warm tonight. Love the cute goats.

[@darcymiller9308]

I hope Tic Tac will be okay ,.praying for her 🙏

[@LewisAcreFarm]

I don't know if goats can become diabetic or not, but I know cats and dogs can. I mention this because you said she perked up as soon as she got the molasses water. To me, being a diabetic myself, that indicates that she had severely low blood sugar. Yes, low blood sugar Can cause one to shake violently as if having a seizure. Someone else mentioned Cog Hill Farm and the fecal test for worms. That is another excellent idea. It was a really interesting couple of videos that Jason and Brooke did on goats and worms. I hope Tic Tac will be okay.

[@monicahill750]

I was thinking the same thing, I'm diabetic. A few months ago,my cat started shaking or having trembles. Took her to the vet and they thought it was her blood sugar. That day,we learned she has neurological issues.

[@edt2641]

Just FYI, Jason and Brooke @Cog Hill Farm found out that the eye lid check is not as always a reliable check for worms. Their Vet told them they needed to do fecal check to be sure. They did the fecal check and their goats had worms. They had to use a different type dewormer to get rid of the worms. They dewormed and then did another fecal check and the worms were gone,.

[@starrhinson2306]

Poor baby!!! So happy Tic Tac is doing better now!😊

[@sondrastearns1662]

Slowly I am leaning their wonderful names. Prayers Tictac stays healthy and the rest of your crew. God bless

[@zioncreekfarm]

Aww, thank you ☺️

[@dianehammack2188]

Poor little TicTac. She had to be miserable shaking like that. I'm glad she seems to be doing better. That's scary. Ya'll take care.

[@joypalmer7616]

Glad Tic Tac was OK after she had her daddy's hugs.

[@DONNABROWN1959]

Prayers for Tic-Tac! I love all your goats and sheep! Can’t wait for more videos! Prayers and Blessings always ♥️🙏♥️🌧🥰

[@suehaag2783]

Glad to hear she turned around. Always a good idea to keep an eye on them after a scare.

[@amyfitch3005]

B12, electrolytes, a warming station/lamp? I hope Tic tac is better. Positive and healing vibes for all💖

[@betsywyks8277]

Hi Shawn....I'm so sorry TicTac was struggling this morning and very glad she has perked up. Several people have mentioned getting a fecal sample tested on her and I concur. Another goat channel that I watch...Syman Says Farms in Connecticut, almost lost one of their 2022 Spring babies -Winnie.- to a massive overload of worms. The eyelid check did not reveal the problem but after 2 fecal checks it was found that she was severely anemic from worms. It took weeks and a lot of medication to get her cleared up. I hope you will check their channel for information on Winnie's illness and treatment. Sending prayers for little Miss TicTac!!!!!

[@Waif4444]

I thought immediately of Winnie when watching this

[@cindyboard7816]

Poor Tic Tac!! Good to see her up and about!!! Shawn, I'm going to state what you already know,😂 (but maybe others can benefit that read the comments) an active rumen keeps animals like goats, cows and sheep warm. That is how cows can be out in a snowstorm and be perfectly warm and content. That is why it is so important for animals to be fed well in extreme cold weather. Now I KNOW you fed Tic Tac and all the animals very very well but maybe Tic Tac was off her food a little at supper time? I'm thinking probiotics might be beneficial to get her rumen working better. I did notice in the video she wasn't chewing her cud. Again you know all of this but some new followers or even someone new to owning animals may benefit from my rambling 😂😆😉! Prayers for Tic Tac and all the fur babies!!! Stay safe and stay warm!!

[@colleendean4921]

Love the name Tic-tac .. hope she feels better..❤ I love all of the names! ❤

[@haileyanna3830]

Great names for your babies ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍

[@zioncreekfarm]

Thank you ☺️

[@ritamulloy3522]

So glad your goat recovered. They’re all so sweet! I look forward to knowing their names in time ❤

[@sharonurschel6753]

Oh my poor Miss TicTac! Hope she will be ok! I don’t like thinking that one of the babies is not feeling her best. It’s very cold up here in Mansfield too, it was 17 on my way to church and it’s not much warmer yet! 🥶🥶 Take cate of yourself too, we don’t want you down sick too! 😊

[@ALilBitWitchy]

Poor lil Tic Tac, but glad shes getting better, so hard to see them shivering like that. Hope she gets & stays healthy. Dang weather most all over cold faster. 😔❤🙏

Looks like Tictac has boots on! Love her colors, little white like Z on her!! ❤❤

[@zioncreekfarm]

Her pattern is called chamoisee! Yes the Zion Creek Z 🤣☺️

She needs a goat vest. Lol. Your goats are so beautiful.

Hope that sweet baby is going to be okay. Do not apologize, the babies are number one concern.

Poor sweet Lil' Tic!! Thank goodness she feels better as goats tend to "give up"... Keep a watch as I know you will and keep us informed on how she is

[@marywallace6383]

That must have been scary for you. Mom's molasses to the rescue. Glad she's doing so much better.

[@monicavankleef7289]

I love your goat names. Sending Prayers for Tic Tac 🙏

[@robertamccrorey]

Thank goodness you successfully addressed this moment. Perhaps keeping a blanket around may help if it happens again.

[@debbiesmith3262]

I'm glad tic tac is feeling better.

[@nolliesteers3083]

I'm glad Tic Tac's doing better. Licorice isn't so skinny anymore at least not like she used to be. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you ☺️ Licorice looks really good, but she’s still our tiniest baby, next to GDrop but that doesn’t count.

[@karencosentino1029]

I hope she continues to feel good. 💝🙏

[@moemanda5020]

Oh no, poor Ticky. I'm glad she let you cuddle her up. I hope she is able to regulate better if it stays cold. You and I both said no at the same time when you asked Cookie if she was going to give you babies. lol. I am still hoping to see her kids but if it's not meant to be there must be a reason. I wouldn't want her to be in any danger. She's still one of my favorite goats of all time. (She's a GOAT goat🤣😂)

[@zioncreekfarm]

You called her “my little angel muffin”? 🤣😂🤣 We feel the same. Would rather she not have babies if there’s danger to her of the babes. So, would you buy a cookie don’t care shirt 🤣😂🤣 you’ll have to message me on Facebook messenger because I’ll never see your response at this point 😂☺️

[@shirleylipscomb6212]

you did good noticing her, and glad you did what ya did .. Praying she will continue to improve..

Maybe TicTac was cold from laying against the cold metal wall. Thank you for warming her up…you’re such a good daddy! 😊

Thank you ☺️ She doesn’t normally and she wasn’t against the metal when I saw her. Sorry, I know I just pointed in the general direction of the corner. She was actually against the wood facing inward to the barn.

The cold did descend upon your part of the country quickly. You’re probably correct that she doesn’t have her full winter protective coat in yet, but keeping your eye on her is a good thing. There’s nothing like warm snuggles and hugs to turn the cold away. 🌹

Could you maybe get some straw for their beds? Or put heavy cardboard under their current bed of hay? What about Survivor type heating blankets that are shiny looking under their beds? Next find a thrift store kids sweaters and put it on them.(sorta like cheap horse blankets).

I got up to a shivering goat the other day and I went down to the local farm store and bought five bales of wheat straw. Game changer. Now everyone has a horse mat, shavings, and a foot of wheat straw on the top. They seem to be warm it's been like 26° here in Northeast Mississippi at night.

Hello! Can you group several together in a stall so their body heat can accumulate to keep each other warm.Just a idea.

[@zioncreekfarm]

Ugh, they would fight each other. I did put them in general population tonight so they can lay with whomever just in case.

[@BoxerMom63]

Maybe keep some of those body warmers that all you have to do is snap them to activate it. And hopefully you won't need it but have it. I have some that are large enough to cover my belly. They're called Body comfort heat packs. You can find them in the pharmacy aisle at Walmart. The nice thing about them is they are reusable. Keeping them in my prayers.❤️🙏❤️
