I know exactly how you feel my friend and my heart goes out to you!!. I spent several weeks getting ready for the "perfect" Christmas and now just this evening I went out to the barn and noticed my goat had a small band of foam/saliva around her lower lip. I could feel the adrenalin shoot up through me like a rocketship and I went into a panic thinking "rabies" or "mad cow disease". Then I remembered that I had given her some peices of leftover baked potato with mayonaise a short while ago and that she did'nt have the "foam" at any time PRIOR to my giving her the potato and mayonaise but now my mind is playing cruel tricks on me. Like I'll be thinking "maybe it really WAS foam and not mayonaise" or "why did'nt I get a better look at it to see if it was mayonaise?", etc. Then, every time I hear her move around or make a noise out there, look at me or make any movement whatsoever, I automatically get panicky thinking she has some dreaded disease. Same thing with me. Every sensation I have I automatically start worrying about what disease I might have and it just drives me nuts. All this coming on the evening before Christmas. This thing show no mercy and does'nt even let up over the holidays!.

Unbelievable.
