I’m glad the goat is felling better, but I am curious as to how they found this cure.
If I have a nervous blind goat, the first thing coming to my mind would not likely be “Hey let’s put a duck outfit on it - and don’t forget the big feetsies!!”

It has to be a sensory effect of both touch and increased warmth = security, I bet.

Dude, I’m as far from a snowflake as you can possibly get and I find this story cute. Some people take the responsibility of caring for animals seriously.

A blasting mat also works.

Cute costume from a thoughtful owner. But that term ‘Rescue Goat’. Does that mean she helps to ‘rescue’ people? As in being part of a petting zoo for upset people.
Or that she herself was ‘rescued’ from being put down at an Animal Shelter?
To: freedomlover
Reading the story revealed it was simply an outfit purchased sirindipity, for a Halloween costume, that once donned, surprisingly, totally relieved the anxiety symptoms.

Better have a lot of toothpicks handy to get those BBQ’d synthetic fibers out of your smile.

See, even a goat is calmed by the Donald.

I hate to be a party-pooper but the pink outfit looks more like a unicorn

Another cure would be to hold a goat roast. Not all that tastee but it would help both the owner and the goat to understand the reality of the current food chain.
To: nickcarraway
Maybe that ‘costume’ gives that goat a feeling that the ‘Thunder Shirts’ do for psycho-thunderstorm dogs?
Either way, goat meat IS delicious. And it’s obviously been well fed and is disease-free if it’s allowed in the house on the couch!
*SMIRK*
Oh, boy! Here come the, ‘You’re a DOG HATER’ responses.
No, Peeps. I’m NOT. But a goat in the house, in a duck suit on my couch? Nope.

"Meet Polly, an adorable rescue goat."
Who does (or did) she rescue? Did she lose her eyes in a rescue? Does she still rescue even though she's blind?
Or was SHE the one that was rescued from a shelter?
I hope you don't mind me butting in, perhaps it will only take a nanny-second to post the amswers.
Thanks, Leni

Blind, senseless, anxiety driven and only comfortable when dressed up as something it isn’t ... sounds like an American snow flake to me.

“What a good soul this woman is to help this sweet animal.”
Yep, whatever we can do to help the lives of God’s creatures, we should.
That’s why humane husbandry and instant slaughter is a moral imperative. And nothing should be wasted.
