And the herd continues to grow! Grats on another successful (assisted) delivery!
For the most part (with goats anyway- I would think its the same with sheep) the antibiotics are not needed when you have to assist. They "weep" for several weeks after they kid (again- I'm talking goats) and that tends to clear everything out. A uterine flush would be better then antibiotics at this point- but I don't think she needs that right now either.
If for some reason she spiked a temp you would probably want to do antibiotics and the flush.
Sorry about the mastitis
Congrats on all those lambs! So funny that you say they are small, compared the Nigerian dwarf goat kids they look GIANT!
You have such pretty sheep and lambs, but I confess to a favorite... I love cow!![]()
