Pearce Pastures Spring 2015 Kidding Thread: BLUEBELL is in LABOR!

It's so sad when they don't make it. One of my does had three but only one survived, I really think she was missing the others for the first few days. She seems good now and the little doe is fine too. She was in labour for a few days, I had the vet out after the first day, contractions and mild pushing but nothing in the canal either, he did an ultrasound and said he could see two kids who seemed fine and she wasn't really dilated enough yet, so let her go. Next morning I came out to one up and dried off and two little guys dead on the ground. They were cleaned off so I don't know if stillborn or not, but it's hard on everyone isn't it? Condolences.

So sorry for your loss. Glad mamma is ok though.

Momma is cleaned up, checked over, and back with her pals. She is still stopping what she is doing, looks around and cries out for her kid but she will be okay. I wish I had been able to move faster so she didn't even see it. Her LGD Charlie was curled up with her tonight.

Our last doe due this round is Bluebell and she has about 20 days more to go. He udder build is nice and this is her third freshening and she has done very well with labor. Last year, she had quads without much fuss. Hoping for a repeat.

Congrats on the new kids! Love the set of colors on Lily's kids! So sorry that you lost Pumpkins' little one, and glad Pumpkin is okay!
Aww, good dog Charlie!

Our pretty girl Bluebell is due sometimes in the next week (two of her kids are in my avatar). Her udder is very pretty already. I can't wait! I have a wait list for her kids but part of me really wants to keep one. Probably can't get away with it this year since I am bringing home three new bucks in the next few months.

Yay!! Congrats! Best wishes for a safe, healthy delivery for her and the kids!
