Ack!
Well, we are still new to goats and have a kid who was just born hours ago. We don't know exactly when, but when we went out to feed our animals, we found the kid laying in the melting snow barely breathing laying on its side.
We quickly picked it up and brought it indoors. We've dried it off the best we can at this point and have it wrapped in a warm towel next to the fireplace. Every now and then it opens its eyes and is breathing.
Currently has between 40-45 respirations per minute. I don't now where it should be.
Looking for some quick recommendation and pointers here so we can keep this kid alive.
The Doe is a first time mom as well.
