Goat emergency.

Baby goat emergency Tuesday night! After dinner, I went out to check on everyone thinking I would turn in early and catch up on some needed sleep since I didn't sleep well Monday night. Will try to make a long story short:
- male goat baby with blood all over back legs
- looked like an inner body part now outer and attached to shriveled, black scrotum sack hanging on
- called vet, thought it might be intestines and would need surgery, but in the meantime suggested trying to push it back inside
- tried, couldn't -- wet paper towels and tried to keep them attached to body with rag and tape around said body parts and up around back, between legs, etc. (to keep moist) - wish I had a picture of this
- rushed to vet (Sophia and Sandy's vet who agreed to help) about 7:30
- was holding baby goat down, left hand holding front legs with forearm over neck and right hand holding one back leg, while vet tried to deaden the area with injections -- goat yelling and struggling
- wasn't intestines, so snipped it off -- more blood and more goat yelling and struggling
- about 30 minutes into procedure, I start getting very hot and feeling faint (not from blood, but think from all the yelling and struggling) -- ask doc to hold goat down while I go sit with head between knees -- worry that goat may bleed to death while I faint
- go back in operating room, hold goat while doc puts in some sutures
- ordeal over, put goat in car, get home a little after 9

- need to get mother and sibling in yard for the night
- get feed for coaxing, wrong mother gets in, try to get back out, three more get in

- more feed, get everyone out to start over, finally get correct mother and sibling in yard, reunite with goat baby
- Note to self: a testicle cannot be crammed back from whence it came.
