Blood sample

Had a HECK of a time getting this tiny amount of blood from Angelique. The vet made it look so easy! I think the problem was our syringes and needles were slip style and not lock, and the vacuum was making it impossible to draw blood. Poor Angelique was very patient and endured many sticks without too much complaint. Once we get this technique down we are going to start blood testing all the goats to confirm that they are CAE/CL free, and to pinpoint pregnancies.
