Deputies found the owner and gave him two warnings: he had to get Nibbles veterinary care within four days and provide the goat with food and water. The sheriff’s office said if the owner doesn’t comply with the warnings, he will be cited for neglect for failing to provide adequate care and basic needs for Nibbles.
