I don't think it was ketosis, as I kept her eating until the last two days (bananas, apples, pastries, molasses, propylene glycol). She did start losing her appetite when I first posted this. She went from limping on her hind leg in September to dragging herself in the ground in March. She...

Hi all, Iwanted to follow up on this thread. Thanks everyone for your input. The doe became fully immobile so I induced her about a week early. I delivered 2 healthy doelings but probably tore her cervix. I gave her a lot of antibiotics and supportive care but she never recovered, was not able...

Hi, I induced her 38 hours ago. Today would be day 144. She's fully dilated, I got my hand in past the wrist but can't feel any babies. The vet is out of town this week.

Thanks @cassie I'm doing all those things. Today she's up moving around on her own, hopefully today is the day.

While she still isn't standing (except to eat), she isn't hyperventilating anymore, seems more alert, and seemed to have a restful, deep sleep last night. I wonder if...

Ok thanks for responding. She does get up twice a day, to eat, as I put her grain in a feeder on the other side of the stall. I will ask the vet about lutalyse.

Hi, this is a five yo Alpine doe who is probably due next week. The vet said she has very large twins. She has been struggling with mobility for months due to mastitis (treated) and now the weight of her kids. She only gets up to eat a couple times a day. She has a good appetite. A few days ago...
