Hi there, not sure if this could be it but I was just talking to some folks about our llama who died a few days ago from Oleander (awful!).  Anyway we were all sharing our sad stories and she had 2 pygmies go down to bloat due to wet feed.  She said the grain had gotten wet and swelled pretty bad in their bellies.  She wasn't able to save them.  I hope that's not the case with yours.

Good luck.  I'm sorry to hear your news.  I have a pygmy named Daisy Mae too, and she's my favorite girl.

  Our pygmy goat, Daisy Mae, is suffering from bloat -- I just drenched her with bloat medication (docusate sodium).  My question is, what caused the bloat?  There have been no changes in feed, same alfalfa hay as always, and there is no pasture grass yet for her to overeat, she hasn't gotten out and into something different, etc.......same old status quo.  Any ideas?
