she wont get up just yet. She sets with head half way up. I just gave her a 100 lb dose of banamine paste. She seems to not pant as hard. Since I should have given her 4 ccs of Pen g shouldn't I just wait till next dose and give her 4 at that time? I gave her drench and pen at 12:00. Giving next round around 5:00 unless you all think differently. Her baby sure is missin mom. He just got fed again via syringe from moms colostrum. Mom isn't bleeding at all from vagina. Small amounts of clear discharge.

Have you tried getting her up? My doe wouldn't get up. I called a vet out. He first checked for uterine tears and then wanted her up on her feet. We lifted her and held her up for awhile until she would stand on her own. It's a 2 person job getting a 120 lb doe up off the ground.

I think you should persuade her to get up. She needs to be eating hay to keep her rumen moving. If you have probios you could give her some.

Here's a trick that works for me. Try putting a whole bale in front of her. They seem to feel like they're getting away with something if they get to pull a bale apart. When she's interested, move it away from her just a bit so she'll get up. If she likes apples, put a cut up apple on top of the bale.


I am not an expert. I've been through this. Good luck.

Most likely from a uterine tear. My doe did as well. I know how hard it can be.

Enjoy your moments with the little guy... He needs you :)

Very sorry to read about the loss of your doe and the stillborn kids. I sure hope the little buckling does well.
