Unfortunatly Gloria (our first kid angora) died last night. She was already quite weak yesterday before shearing, and was a little fly blown, but what with getting naked, having a cold night, and possibly a high worm burden (we're testing for that today), she didn't last the night. She was never going to be keeper anyway as she never really grew big enough to bred, but it's never good to lose an animal to ill health. We've currently got another girl that has a large amount of water around her tummy, and talking to the vets, sounds like it might also be worms. She's just been wormed and Steph is down administering 1L of electroltyes. Hopefully she'll perk up.
I've just skinned Gloria as a friend of ours wants the pelts (they eventually want to make a real pelt covered yurt, we've got another 5 pelts for them soon when we move the lambs on)
