Oh no, i hate when you lose one. I had a doe die on me, but it never seemed like she was in labor. As soon as she died i did a c section but the kids were both dead. Awfully sad.

yeah... wasn't clear why it was dead... the mouth looked a little odd.. but maybe just because it had stuck in a funny position. .. couldn't have been dead long since it wasn't smelly... so I am hoping that means a big chance that mom will be fine... no infection etc.

mom looks really good, birth was easy.

the 2 live ones have nursed enough that one side of her udder is already pretty low.

could you tell why she died? last year someone lost a doe ... she never went into labor... went past due... then her uterus ruptured. Just wow. and sad too because the doe was a super beloved pet.

BTW I have some chicks... using a heating plate ... every so often the chicks hop on TOP of the plate... then cry because they get cold.

They have boluses you can insert if you are worried about possible infection.

No, if i thought she was having issues i would have taken her to the vet. But the buck ran with the herd so i had no exact due date.

yeah... I have some things on hand... but not that. the local tiny town feed store doesn't even have milk filters We are having to make due until Friday when I drive up to the next half big town.

So I will just cross my fingers.
