Two of our spring bucklings are back at Little Bit Farm (the gold&white and buckskin). The buckskin wasn't doing well, after being fed too much sweet feed...it's causes Urinary Calculi (urinary stones in the bladder, which cause a blockage). This is very painful for bucks/wethers, so make sure if you're feeding them grain it's in moderation and never feed sweet feed! I brought him to the vet and he had a procedure done and was put on antibiotics and pain medicine. It's keeping him more comfortable than he was but he's still hurting :( Please keep him in your thoughts that he comes out of this, because as the vet said "He's not out of the woods yet."

Thank you to my pal Meredith and cousins Morgan & Autumn for your help getting him to the vet yesterday! I couldn't have done it without you!
