Good Bye, Sweet MollyPosted by Debbie on Monday, August 24, 2015 05:23 pmToday we lost our beloved goat, Molly, to cancer. She began bleeding from her vagina last week. We had our vet out and thought it might be a really bad UTI, but the amount of blood was very worrying. We took her up to Gainesville to the Large Animal Hospital at the University of Florida where they did an ultrasound and found she had a large uterine tumor . They scheduled surgery for today. When they opened her up, they found the cancer had spread everywhere! There was just no way to save her. They were amazed at how, even though she had to have been in tremendous pain, she was so good natured! She touched everyone that worked with her, but then, that was our Molly! Tomorrow, Sparrow will travel back up to Gainesville to bring Molly home and bury her next to her brother, Nick. Then we need to decide whether to find a companion for Joy-Joy or to give her back to the breeder who gave her to us when Nick died. This has been very difficult for us. Sparrow spent the last few days getting the time-out pen ready for Molly's return and building a house for her recovery. That house will not now be needed. Good bye, baby girl. I love you.
