Sweet BETSY is recuperating from her emergency c-section yesterday and is hanging out under a heat lamp on this chilly morning at Winterpast Farm Petting Zoo in Wake Forest NC.
She has eaten some treats and has plenty of hay and Farmer Mary thinks, based on stains on a blanket in her pen, that she passed (and ate) her placenta (that’s a good thing!) BETSY will be on pain meds and antibiotics for a while so prayers for her speedy and full recovery are requested.
It will be hard for her to watch all the other goat and sheep moms with their new babies.
