Update on Serafina

Yesterday she turned the corner! I have been trying to bottle feed her but she didn't take more than two or three sucks. I ended up tubing her regularly but last night she sucked down 2 ounces and then proceeded to explore the house. This morning she took another two ounces by bottle and every time she was hungry she licked her lips and then took the bottle. I took her on a trip today (I needed to take a friend to the airport and she needed regular feeding so she went) When we returned I put her in with her mom (mom has not rejected her!) and the rest of the goats and goat kids. She ran around like crazy and played with other goat kids who are a month old.  I am thrilled.
