The goats are lethally cute. I felt like the Pied Piper. There's a couple pics and a short video on fb, and I may put some on flickr later, after I do my COBRA of course. Tomorrow I'll see if I can get some footage of the mayhem of feeding time.

Oh, and Erin - new core skills:
1) Goat tossing
2) Goat immobilization for sedation
3) Goat bottle feeding

I'll get right on that:

Superior experience in successfully leading and motivating Capra aegagrus hircus; supervisory skills relevant to improved production from ground-level up. Projections for current project staff output are sky-high.

I accidentally spilled a bottle of Vitamin D supplements, these are small yellow almost gel like things. They fell on the tannish floor so I haven't quite found them all.

I just realized Dean the Cat was over there trying to eat them. He ate at least 1, possibly more. They are 1000 IUs each, could they harm him?

I have these!

askye, jesus, for all my expertise, I have NO idea. Call the vet line asap.

I don't have a vet up here yet.

Yellow pages or google for 'emergency vet.' Every 24 hour vet has a help line.

The problem is that pet poison lines charge you a huge fee before they'll even talk to you.

One site says

4545 IU/lb of food consumed on a dry matter basis for adult cats

What are the symptoms of vitamin D toxicosis?

Vitamin D toxicosis causes hypercalcemia (abnormally high blood calcium levels), which results in the calcification of various tissues & the intestinal tract, skeletal abnormalities & eventually renal failure, cardiac upset & GI upset.

Yeah I found the pet poison number - $60! But I also found a 24 emergency vet in Burlington so I'm on the phone with them now.

Excellent.
