Cookie, Franny

We took Cookie to the vet, as she was worse. We got the results of Franny's autopsy:

DIAGNOSIS: Hepatocellular degeneration, centrilobular, moderate, liver
Mild abomasitis

COMMENT: The histopathologic findings in the liver suggest a stomachworm infestation.

Looks like Franny died of stomach worms. :( We had not wormed the goats since the spring as it's been so dry because of the drought. I told the vet that, and that we didn't think worms would be a problem when it was so dry. She said normally it wouldn't be, except we are in a high worm infestation area. Well, now that we know that, it won't happen again!

She gave Cookie an oral dose of Cydectin, an anti-wormer. And we bought a bottle to bring home to five to the other goats.
