So sorry

Sorry to hear
When my sheep start passing the placenta, the first part has a weird umbilical cord look to it. The hormones caused by a kid/lamb nursing helps them pass the placenta - since she won't have that, keep an eye on her and call your vet if she doesn't pass it by tomorrow - a retained placenta can cause a serious infection.

that is what i am worried about. we are watching her closely. what looked like umbilical cord earlier, now looks more like thick, bloody, mucus. I am totally bummed, but I am not sure what we would have done with no colostrum for the kid. everything is closed so i can't even go buy a colostrum replacer.
