After a week of running downhill, I decided to put her down. She has refused food adn water for two days. I didn't want her to suffer (more) and felt it best; I had her nurse her litter from last Friday one last time, held her adn thanked her for her service and motherhood. The end was quick and I ask her forgiveness... Her litter of 13 is down to 8. 3 dead at birth and one starveout. The rest seem in good spirits. She and her sister who were caged side by side are together again.
I should note that T2 went down quickly after her sister died---THEY KNOW more than we think...
I will do my best to foster the two litters: Ms Tenino's are nearing three weeks and almost out and about--I may get them some oats and hay in the am. I have two does due this week, so they may be getting some foster kits. The smallest may be culled to make this work.
I received a helpful message from currycomb===many thanks for the encouraging words. This has been awful.
Tally: two weanlings, one junior doe and three momma does.

I'm so sorry you had to put her down, CH. Especially with little kits. I hope your fostering goes well.
