Stalled Labor ANOTHER UPDATE

[LindseysWoolies]

My other does are all small dwarfs. I never keep false dwarfs. They are gonna be dinner. ButBut of all the does she is the smallest for sure. She ia 2.4 lbs.

I do think that is why people keep them though. I want to get my overall size down as well but don't like having to pull kits either. So I am torn but my husband thinks he gets to eat anything that is over 3 pounds so I don't have to worry much about selling my unwanted kits either. Body building takes allot of protein. :roll:

 

[LindseysWoolies]

Yes that is why people keep them but honestly this doe is the first time ive had any problems. Bigger does means more false dwarf babies which i would rather not get. I would rather have peanuts. My true dwarf mothers until this doe have been amazing and have had no problems.

 

[tm_bunnyloft]

Thats true. If its a peanut you know it right from the beginning. Instead of getting hopes up on a baby and it ending up being way to big.

Sometimes it just happens, though.

It's a really hard choice you'll have to make.

So good to hear she's doing alright! And thank you for the link!

Hopefully, this is a one-time thing because she was a first-timer. Or are you going to try with her again?

 

[MamaSheepdog]

I'm glad you managed to save her!

That was a good link- I was thinking of using oil, but the thought of putting her in a basin of warm water didn't occur to me despite the fact that Queenpup was born in the bathtub. :?

Since you know how to handle the problem if it happens again, I would breed her back as soon as her parts look normal. The sooner the better since it is said that does often have larger litters if bred back immediately, and I have noticed that kits from large litters are born smaller.

Patriot is my smallest doe, and the only one to deliver a live litter.
