Kidding soon?

[luvmypets]

When you say she's down, do you mean down as in she is sick/won't move/ nurse kids?

I hope she is okay

She was laying on her side earlier, and breathing very fast but now she's back on her belly


Edited: she seems better now, sorry for the scare

so...its one buck and one doe. the one that is half/half and white spot is a doe. We are keeping her

Woohoo - cute kids

Glad you ended up with a doeling!

Last year we had a lot of bucklings, it didn't matter how many times I would re-check hoping for a doe. I guess I don't have that superpower LOL

Thankfully we have been blessed with many does this year

Any idea why she presented first kid like this? I'm guessing that was placenta?

You had two babies trying to come out at the same time. That's why you had multiple water bags. That was also a clue that things weren't going to be 'text book'. But, you did good getting that first baby out of the way. That's also why the second baby came out so quickly.

When your doe was pushing hard and practically rolling over, tossing her head around - I took that as a sign that she was in distress.

We all learn as we go. But, for future reference, at that point you could have done a quick internal exam just to see what position the babies were in. If you have to intervene, it's much easier to do so before the babies are all crammed up together at the cervix. And, that's what was happening with your doe. Thank goodness that foot was there or you would have had a harder time getting that first baby out.

But - all's well that ends well and you, and your doe, did great! My only other suggestion is to iodine those naval cords before the baby ever touches the ground!

Please don't take this as criticism! You've got two live, very pretty kids out of the deal so you 'done good'!
