Case of the Month

 

Chanel Turner

Chanel was a 6 year old pregnant miniture goat. She was referred to us by Grafton Animal Care Center because she was having problems delivering. Chanel had been in labor since 8 a.m. that morning and her water had broken at approximately 10-11 a.m.; but no baby had been delivered.


When Chanel arrived here around 1 p.m., she was still in labor and the baby's legs had presented. Chanel was tranquilized with valium and then put under a general gas anesthesia. A cesearian section was performed and a healthy baby boy was delivered. Chanel recovered and she and the baby were sent home later that day. The next day Chanel's owner reported that mother and baby were doing fine.
