HELP WITH KITS!!!!!!!!/Kid progress

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]

Thank you so much! And i actually took a wild guess and figured exactly what you said @SA Farms! My husband got home, he held Dulce' while i combed her, clipped her nails, and pulled some hair around her teats. I even got little man to eat! Nice round tummy now! She was so content, she fell asleep! It was BEYOND awesome.

Really hoping Fluffy goes tonight, so i can put little man with her and friends.

Thank you so very much @Hens and Roos!

How's the kit doing today?

 

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]

Thank you for asking @Hens and Roos.

He looked okay this a.m. we fed him and spent 15min to make sure he was good....and unfortunately he passed this afternoon. I knew it was a long shot, but i rooted for him just the same. Thank you so much everyone for your help and support. I can only hope we have better luck with Fluffy.

You both fought as hard as you could.
Sometimes I think it hurts just a little less knowing you and the animal fought as hard as you could.
Sorry BAF

 

[SA Farm]

Oh, I'm so sorry the little guy didn't make it I was rooting for you both

Thank you so much Southern and SA Farm. I really appreciate it. We really tried. All we can do is learn and do better next time. Hopefully ill have a super happy post with beautiful babies from Fluffy....her day 30 is today.

One question i forgot to ask, would it have affected the kits that they were born 3days early? I also do not know of many Lionheads that kindle that many?

I don't have a lot of experience with premature births personally, but I've heard of litters arriving on day 28 without issue - and on the other extreme, I've heard of does birthing as late as day 42 without issue as well. In the picture you posted, they looked fully formed, so I don't think that was it.
Unfortunately no matter how hard you try some just don't make it

 

[Bucking Adoeable Fainters]

Thank you again! Just figured i have to count this loss as a learning experience

42days?! Holy guacamole.

 

[Hens and Roos]

sorry you lost the little guy it is so hard to know sometimes. Hopefully your doe will do better the next time around.

Holy guacamole! We just walked in the door right as Fluffy was in middle of kindling. She has pulled a TON of hair (what a great mama) 2 were in the nest and tons of movement. And one she had just popped out was still wet and not moving. I grabbed him, and tried everything. He looks to be a stillborn. As i was trying to revive, another was born on the grate (its a hutch with open and little room) another stillborn :::: these things are stinking Huge! I mean wow. Nothing like Dulce'. They have teeth and huge heads and bodies. Wowza. I knew Fluffy has incredible genes, but wow.

Very sad on the stillborns. Any insight?

And yes i am still sitting here starring at poor Fluffy wondering if she'll have more......i feel bad for starring, but i just cannot help it.
