The quads are doing great, and Coleus is too.
After talking to the vet, he ended up not coming out. Didn't feel a need to.
We had already given her a round of antibiotics. We automatically treat with antibiotics if we have to reach in to re-position a kid.
Her temp was 101.9, she was eating, chewing cud, pooping, peeing, and taking care of the babies. So, no need to spend the money on a farm call at this time.

The kids are all nursing well. They've already got a routine in place. The littlest girl and the biggest buck are in sync. They nurse together. And, then the other two nurse together.

Of all the multiple births she's had, this is the first time she's had a problem.

Glad she is doing well.
Not to be a bother but more pics really are in order here. :D

I only got pics of one yesterday. This one was the "trouble maker" who jammed up the birth canal. He has very interesting markings. We are calling it a "cape" on his head, and he has moonspots and blue eyes.

He is really handsome! Markings don't contribute to milking or show quality but he is so striking and I bet he has good dairy lines.
