Goat Smoothie

We've been making goat smoothies. No, Mother Superior has not been turned into bougie millennial sludge. The smoothie is FOR her, NOT made OF her. I know, it's red. But that is because there's beet in it. Also sweet potato, banana, spinach, alfalfa, molasses, raw apple cider vinegar, yogurt whey, powdered probiotics, electrolyte powder, and water to thin it out enough that we can suck it up into a drenching syringe (that's the kind you stick in their mouth to force feed them stuff they don't want to eat).

Thankfully today she's actually eating on her own and we don't have to force her. Even though she's sick she's still very strong and yesterday we all came away from the experience with a touch of PTSD and smoothie splattered on our clothes and in our hair. Thankfully she's too stupid to hold onto resentment. She hasn't quite defaulted back to her normal violent behavior but if she continues to improve, I suspect in a couple days she'll be right back to her same old backstabbing, ornery self.

We are also giving her injectable vitamin B once a day and an iron supplement.

Ya'll, this is exhausting! Lately I make more food for my animals in my kitchen than I do for myself! If Mother Superior survives this mess, I'm seriously considering selling off these goats and replacing them with a more parasite resistant animal.

Maybe sheep.

I don't know, the goats are super fun. We'll see.
