Onion Creek Oberhhasli Tragedy!!!!

[Nanno]

My goodness. This is so heartbreaking. Keeping hanging in there. It take courage and strong character to be able to focus on blessings like Belle, and the surviving yearlings and bucks, and the hay that was not lost. I hope your insurance company does right by you.

I'm so glad Belle looks ok. The sooner you can get the aloe on her the better. I had a goat burn his face in a campfire last fall and we used a cooling aloe vera gel made for sunburns. He loved it when I smeared that on his raw spots. Expect the burns to look a lot worse before they get better. Our goat didn't look too bad for a couple of days and then suddenly all the skin began to crack and peel away, leaving a lot of very painful exposed flesh and scabs. He went off his feed for several days because it hurt to move his lips. I also had to "decrust" his nose every morning because there was a lot of mucous coming down his burnt nasal passages, and the scabs were catching it so it couldn't run out like it should. Belle's eyelids may really crust up during the next week as well. I'm glad she's only six weeks pregnant. Here's hoping her kids will be fine.

We'll certainly keep you in our prayers as you get through this difficult time. Thank you for keeping us posted.
