*UPDATE*
I am amazed that we reached our original goal of $1,500 for my goat, Ren, so quickly. I am extremely grateful for all of the donations and shares. Thank you! Unfotunately, the vet updated us today and Ren has had a couple of complications regarding his wound. When we arrived at the hospital, we were shown a couple radiographs comparing his leg when he was first admitted to this week. Part of the bone has died because it was exposed to the air, and in order for him to continue healing he needs to have surgery to have that section of his bone removed. We were allowed to visit him, and as soon as Ren saw me he immediantly perked up. We were told that he's eating and drinking normally, and overall he seems completely healthy, aside from the fact that his wound isnt healing as hoped. This means that he will need at least 3 more weeks of hospitalization, plus the costs of surgery, and that raises the initial bill by quite a bit. Assuming there are no complications, the surgery will allow Ren to walk painlessly instead of constantly limping. Please help us reach our new goal and give Ren a chance to live a happy, pain free life.
*Any money left over from Ren's medical expenses will be donated to the Langham Creek FFA program to help with future medical issues like the one Ren is going through. Thank you all so much for your consideration, donations, and shares.
*ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION*
This was my first year in FFA, and I chose to raise a goat. Everything was going perfectly at first-but then he got into an accident. Ren jumped out of his pen, and in the process he badly lacerated his back leg when it caught on some protruding metal. We took him to the vet and were told to just wash it out daily and care for the wound so it stays clean. It was slowly healing, but he started to develop a fever so we took him to a different vet (the A&M Large Animal Hospital) and they said he needed to be hospitalized for at least a week. According to the vets , there's no way possible for him to be show ready by february, so instead we planned to let him happily live his life out on a pasture, but only if he can heal. That's the part we need help with. The costs of keeping him alive and happy are more than we can afford right now, and the only other option for him is to be put down. I refuse to allow my baby to be euthanized because of a simple cut on his leg, but we can't pay for the veterinary bill and they won't let us take him home until the bone's covered up. All I'm asking for is just a couple more days of veterinary care for him, but unless we get the help we need then we'll have to put him down, and I can't betray him like that. Ren trusts me more than anything, and I can't give up on him, especially since he has a chance to live a happy life as someones adorable little lawn-mower.
