Bridgie's Lambing Thread-More Finns

Well I let her back out again and she went down in the pasture. She's got that foamy mouth again. I'm not sure what that's all about? All I do know is I NEED A NAP!

I would say the foam comes being a fat ewe who doesn't exercise well

 

[Bridgemoof]

Hmm not sure if she is that fat, but I was thinking that if she ate too much and was full of some big twins, it might make her a bit bloaty.

Anyways, she did much better today, no moaning or grunting, she was moving around okay. She really wasn't acting like she was going to lamb anytime soon. So maybe she won't lamb for two weeks, like Shelly May's! I'm much less worried about her tonight than I was last night. I'll go check on her before bed, then probably sleep all night.

Clementine finally lambed! Triplets, but one is dead. Another one is very weak and we can't hardly pry it's mouth open to feed it, I don't know if it's going to make it unless we tube feed it. The 3rd has nursed and is weak, but looks like it's going to make it.

I'll report more in the a.m.

Oh boy, I think we're out of the woods! The really weak one we brought in the house to warm up. We tube fed her (first time we've done that) and she perked up right away! Before long she was sucking onto the bottle so we brought her back outside ASAP! Thankfully the mommy did not reject her and let her nurse. I've had to help both of them to stand and nurse but it seems they are both getting milk. whew! And we used the goat colostrum from yesterday! We had a hard time getting enough out of the mom to use for the tube feeding, so we luckily we had the colostrum from the goat who lost her babies.

We also gave both of them a shot of BoSe too to help jump start them. I weighed the one in the house and it was 7 pounds! They were all about the same size so that means she was carrying 21 pounds. Oh poor momma!

OK, I'm going back to bed for a while!
