[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 355590, member: 2308"] Here is a quote from that article. "When a goat is on its back, the weight of the rumen puts pressure on the diaphragm and makes breathing difficult. The heavy rumen blocks the esophagus and traps the gas that the boat normally releases by belching at 1- or 2-minute intervals. At the same time, pressure on the blood vessels compromises circulation. With the respiratory and vascular systems both compromised, the goat soon loses consciousness. Death can occur between five to thirty minutes or so." And the link to the full article. [url=http://kinne.net/dorsrec.htm]http://kinne.net/dorsrec.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
