Well Fat Girl isn't feeling good. She isn't eating or drinking as much as she should and she is lying down a lot. So I got some banamine from the vet and am giving her regular drenches with molasses water and probios.

I think if I can just get her eating she will be fine. I am going up and checking every hour, making her get up, walk around and feed the babies. The last one she was getting feistier so I think that is a good sign.

When did you give the Banamine shot? How much did the vet give you? I would give her Banamine again tomorrow too.

I gave it to her at about 11:00 this morning. He gave me three syringes and said one every day for three days. I have also been giving her Pen G and Vit B complex, both of which the vet said he would have suggested had I not already been doing it.

Sunshine had twin boys. Textbook kiko delivery. First one was up and nursing before the second one was out. Entire thing less than 10 minutes start to finish. She is cleaning both of them off and they are both up and standing.

Sunshine is one of my sweetest does, she will come right up to you to get petted. She is a very protective Mommy! She was very mad at me for coming in the pen to change the light bulb.

Her ligs were soft last night but not gone. Had it been a weekday I woudl have put her in the pen but since I would be home today I left her out. I was up checking on Fat Girl and she was acting weird. Vocal, wouldn't come near me, wouldn't let me touch her. So I caught her and put her in the pen figuring she would go in the few days. No more than three minutes later I look in the pen and see two hooves presenting!

Y'all are so lucky, I had my camera in my pocket. She wasn't cooperating but I did get a few.

Well the pics of the two hooves and nose were too dark but here you go...
