Looks like I'll lose her....

[ladysown]

My doe that kindled those huge kits and had major blood loss... looks like I'll be losing her.

I've been keeping a close watch on her but yesterday I was so sick that moving was difficult and I noted her struggling and said hold on girlie I'll do what I can for you.

Oatmeal, hay and a light bulb for warmth was all I could manage for her.

This morning her kits were removed to another doe (in my fog sick head I didn't think of that yesterday).

She's not looking good. Her bottom end is wet and icky looking (she got a bath this morning)... I suspect she ripped something open inside due to the colour.

She's been a good brood doe for me.

This just bites.

So sorry ladysown. Still keeping my fingers crossed for you that she pulls through.

I'm so sorry. Its really sucks when that happens.
Hope you feel better soon and there is a Christmas Miracle for your doe!

Oh no! I hope she rallies. :clover:

Maybe you could give her some foods high in vitamin K to help her blood coagulate.

and I did. I had hopes last night that she'd be fine this a.m. as she actually ate some grain but she was gone this morning.

sad I am.

Oh, I'm sorry, Ladysown! That doesn't make for a very merry Christmas.

Poor thing.

I hope that her kits do well and you can keep back a doe or two to continue her line.
