So sorry for such a hard delivery. Our vet years ago taught us some very useful tricks in situations like this. We have used it many times and walked others through as well... all successful. (I'll pm you later). It is scary when there is a complication... I don't care how many kids you've delivered... it is just flat out scary.
Glad you were able to have 2 living. Hoping Dazzle heals up well. Leah's first kidding was a nightmare. She ended up in shock. We planned on bottle feeding anyway but it was a good thing we did. Took her a couple of days to "snap" out of it. Poor girl. Good sign Dazzle is eating and drinking!
Kids are beautiful.

That would be great! Thanks! It was terrifying. I thought for sure I’d loose her when that dead kid was stuck.

I know after deliveries like that we feel like we were hit by a mac truck! We are tired, sore, and just flat out exhausted. Granted, I'm old, but even GW gets worn out. How are you?
Just to encourage you Leah had 5 kids the next season... 3 were breach but flew out anyway... no tangled bodies. She did great. Hopefully that eases your mind. I think FF are stressful for us humans.

I slept an hour last night, but plan on taking a long nap as soon as I get back from TSC. Good news! She didn’t actually prolapse. I was on the phone with the vet when she passed 2 placentas, one which was very chunky and strange. Anyways, it looked and felt exactly like a prolapse when it first started coming, but turns out it wasn’t!

Dazzle was too weak to nurse her babies at first, so I’ve been bottle feeding them. She is much more energetic now, but won’t stand still for them so I’ve continued the bottle... Hopefully she’ll come around so I won’t be as tied down.

Congratulations! on two cuties. Hope Dazzle continues to recover.

So sorry about the lost kid and difficult kidding. Glad she’s doing better!

Congratulations on the two remaining kids! So happy you got a doeling!

Congrats on saving the two kids and Dazzle! Prayers that Dazzle continues to improve and nurses them!

I’m always a nervous wreck until deliveries are over!!!

Great that there wasn't actually a prolapse. I wonder if the weird placenta was related to the dead kid.
