Yuck. I need to do our boy in a few weeks. I mean, we still have to do it, right? Don't want to wait till they're older. Is there something you can do to prevent problems with flies?

Hey there, we are from right outside Waco, too, and love pygmys! Welcome!

Pretty good! I am giving her the pen g still, and she is up and eating and seems to be doing well.i am still watching her closely for an infection or uterine tear.really hoping she pulls through!

Thanks for your kind words. Are Pygmy's more prone to this because of their size. The little guy was almost 7 pounds! Molly herself only weighs about 45!

It was really rough. We honestly got to the point of deciding to shoot her because we could not get him out. So far she is ok, walks funny and looks super sore. Gave her an injection of pen g, and electrolytes. Hoping she keeps eating and drinking. I am really worried about infection. How long...

She was a bit young. When I bought them we were told they were 6 months old, and that was 4 months ago. She was already bred. My does are separate from our buck here. She isn't super small, the size of our buck and her twin sister that kidded no problem, her pelvic bones were just so narrow...

The buck is a pygmy too, pretty small. And I did buy the pen g and will that to her now. Thanks!

Molly made it through the night, actually looks pretty good, but I am worried about infection. We used gloves, iodine, and a lubricant, plus disinfected our hands, but still. There was a lot of traumatic pushing and pulling. I am on my way to buy some antibiotics. What type are the best. Her...

Thanks, it was awful. Guess I should have known something bad had happened when it took so long. Thanks, though. Such a horrible night.

Unfortunately Molly's baby got stuck and was positioned with a back leg and head first. Was nearly impossible to get out, baby was stuck in the pelvic bones. Couldn't even get my hand between the body and Mom's bones. We were right on the verge of euthanizing her. After about an hour and a half...

Bad news...baby(buckling) was dead and positioned with a back foot and head. It took an hour and a half and a lot of effort to get the poor thing out. Was super big and SO stuck in the pelvic bones. We couldn't even get our hands past the head to grab the other legs. I never saw the bubble...

Ok, she doesn't seem too distressed, so I think we will wait and watch for progress. So far, since 9 am, no progress at all. Only pushing every 10 minutes or so now. We'll wait for the bubble to show up, or if she seems worn out. I wish she would drink, it's 100 degrees out here! Thanks for...

Do you usually wait for a kid to present to start thinking of repositioning?

It is slow going. I wish she would just push harder already! Hoping she's doing alright!:fl

My first timer Molly(pygmy) seems to be in labor for the last 6 hours, had the long thick rope, but the contractions seem to come and go. Not very consistant. She is clearly pushing, but not all that hard. Lays down, gets back up, paws at the dirt. Won't eat or drink all day. Her vaginal opening...

And we are finally in labor. Good grief, she sure took her time! Hoping for a little girl!!!

Ok, no ligs left today, and Molly's udder is super full and tight. Today has got to be the day!!!???:fl

Still nothing from Molly. She's the type to give me a hard time and drag things out! :idunno

Just the one little boy, but he is so sweet! Wobbly, but nursing well, for a first timer, Lily is doing awesome! Now I'm waiting for her sister to deliver. Looks due anytime. She is rather unfriendly, so I doubt she'll tolerate my presence much. Keeping my fingers crossed for a little girl...

So far it's a boy for Lily! She did a great job, with a tough head first, no feet delivery! Going back to check again. Of course, she went 2 acres deep into her pasture and parked herself under a tree. Lots of ants, too! But I got to see it all!! About how long till she would have a twin if...
