Goat-O-Rama Kids of 2023

Thanks! Unfortunately little Pongo still isn't right. His ligaments have not tightened up yet (although they are slowly improving) so he still can't stand up on his own or walk yet. Phil and I went out every hour or two and worked with him to move his legs around, stand him up, and prop up his behind when he'd start to shuffle along. He's not injured. He's not acting like a baby in pain. But he acts as though his leg bones are not tied to each other. It's kind of gross to watch his hips pop outwards and his hocks flex the wrong direction, but it doesn't seem like it hurts him other than he can't support himself on those loose joints. He's like a little floppy puppet who needs a set of strings to hold him up. It's not Floppy Kid Syndrome. That affects slightly older kids and isn't present at birth. I suspect he didn't absorb selenium in utero for some reason. Hopefully he'll tighten up in the next day or two because his sister really wants to play with him and I can tell he wants to play with her too. He seems a little sad that he can't hop around like a normal baby. Hopefully this will pass soon because he sure is a cutie!
