:hugs So sorry! You did great though! Sometimes no matter what you do, nature still takes its course. You will have plenty of healthy babies soon enough! :fl

Upon further inspection there were no deformities. It was dark and the angle the leg was at made it look like there was. Lack of sleep probably didn't help. Such a shame to make it so close and then loose them.
Now I feel absolutely awful knowing that there was nothing wrong with them. If I had gotten up an hour before she might not have lost her babies.

And maybe she still would have...try not to beat yourself up so much - it sounds like you did everything you could. :hugs

Don't beat yourself up too bad, sometimes these things happen, regardless.
Sorry you lost the babies. :(

:( We had our first losses New Year's morning. Similar scenario; twins, dystocia. Lost the kids but the dam is ok. We were with the doe through the entire labor and still didn't manage to save them. It's a difficult thing but Roll is right- sometimes it just happens.

Sorry for your losses, and I hope the rest of your kidding season goes smoothly! :hugs
