Birthing kit

[billyandtimmyplace]

So, we have some boer goat due here pretty soon and we need to know what we need on hand. Scissors, bottle, what? This is our first time ever so we need the advice!

This is what I have gathered for my first time having kids.

Needles & syringes, Bar-Vac CD/T, Sulmet Drinking Water Solution, Povidone Iodine, Fortified Vitamin B Complex, VPCA Goats Prefer Cal-C-Fresh, Vet Thermometer, Clost Perf C&D Antitoxin, Pro-Pen-G Injection, Electrolytes, Probiotics, and Red Cell.

Hope this helps!

I do the bare minimum.

I have a heat light ready incase I need it.... (never have)
rag towels to dry off kids-
suction bulb incase they need help getting gunk out of throat
probiotic paste to put one 1/2 inch in each mouth of newborn
vitamin E gel pills to squirt one in each mouth
pritchart nipples from Tractor Supply
empty 16 oz coke bottles to use with pritchart nipples

We have sheep and not goats, but believe this applies to goats too....we have gloves and a sterile lubricant in case we have to help...and always keep your fingernails short and smooth at delivery time...don't want to tear anything...that's all I have to add to the good list people posted...good luck and keep us informed, and don't forget...we love photos!!!!!
