When to let go

My little goat is sick.
We have tried this and that,
Medicine and care,
And more medicine.
Sometimes we think she rallies.
Her appetite improves.
And she gets herself up on two of her legs.
But then she goes down again.
You hear her pathetic bleats.
She is lying uncomfortably.
And she seems too weak to get up.
We prop her up on fresh hay,
With food and water close.\,
And she still has her appetite.
How long do we go on like this?
When to let go?
