Sweet Petey

Look at the adorable smile on Petey’s face. He is a happy, happy resident at Rikki’s Refuge.
Petey goat smile smilingHis life wasn’t always so great ~~ Petey was found as a stray wondering the country lanes. His hooves had not had attention for ages, they had grown up and all around his feet. He was flea and tick infested. After pulling over 100 ticks off, we gave up and had to use chemicals. We didn’t want to because he was so anemic and so weak and passing several kinds of worms too. He was the skinniest goat we have ever seen.
It took over two months to build his strength up and put some weight on him so he could get neutered. And until he was neutered he had to stay in isolation. He might have been too weak to do much … but we feared what he might do if allowed to be with the goat herd !!!!Petey goat
