If only I had seen it sooner!!!

I have been reading all of these posts about sick children, adults and everything in between ... I always send a prayer when I hear about it .. .but never quite expect it to be in my backyard .. literally ... One of my babies became VERY ill yesterday ... While my husband and I do not have any human babies yet, we have numerous furbabies ... three dogs, two horses, two goats and a cat to be precise ... Well one of my goats fell ill and suddenly ... Sunday night we was looking a little sleepy when I fed but he ate all of his grain, ba-ed his little ba and I thought oh he must have eaten too much I will check on him in the morning ... I walked out yesterday morning to find him hanging his head, drooling and starring off into wonderland ... NOT my normal goat .. especially not HIS normal behavior .. This goat is friendly and actually prefers to be in your lap than on the ground ... Annoyingly follows you around, eats whatever you may have in your hand edible or not ... picks at you until you give him his attention ... So anyway to see him so depressed was shocking ... I immediately called in an emergency call ... at 5AM mind you ... and awaited the vet ... my baby went down 15 minutes after the call ... like literally could no longer stand ... so again I sat with him and we waited and waited .. finally at 7AM the DR arrives ... We LOADED this goat with everythign and anything that could possibly fix him ... antibiotics, steriods, pain meds, fluids, electrolytes, vitamins ... everything but the kitchen sink ... I have been continuously loading him with all of the above, every 4 hours since ... He seemed to be doing a bit better yesterday but this morning has taken a turn for the worse!!! I can only HOPE and PRAY that the antibiotics kick in soon or by some miracle he makes a vast improvement today .. I cannot bear to see him suffering and not know what hurts still ... or where ... and the thought of having to decide when enough is enough tears me apart ... I know he is an animal to most, but to me ... he is one of my babies ... and I cannot bear to lose him ... especially at such a young age ... Should I have called Sunday night ... would that have fixed this ... the vet assures me that I caught is very early and that helps the prognosis .. but the disease he has contracted his often lethal ... so at this point we are praying we have done enough to turn this little guy back around ... Please pray for Cooley ... that he makes it through!
