Ew.
Just finished outside chores and checked the weather and discovered we're down to 2 degrees and falling.
No wonder I was grumpy out there. The low was SUPPOSED to be 4 but we've surpassed that and it's not even the cold point of the night yet.
One of my does due tomorrow is reluctant to stand on her feet, and limping from her hips and has a little more bag than earlier, but not much. I also feel like she might smell funny. If she does not kid tomorrow I may have to start graining her if she'll take it or get some propylene glycol into her if she does not and maybe bug the vet for drugs to induce. She's not bagging much and still has ligaments though so I'm thinking she's not going tonight. I guess I can check right before bed, but I'm thinking she'll go first thing in the morning if anything.
Odd, in these temps my girls are not bagging up much. It's a darn good thing I bottle raise.
The doe that kidded, barn name Allie, she had mastitis last round when I tried to cut her off early. The side that had mastitis side didn't fill much and was little but the more I milk it the more it produces. It didn't really even bag with colostrum. The other side has what I'm pretty sure is horrid edema. Rubbery, heavy, flow obstructing edema that is ever so slowly receding. Or at least I hope that's what it is. Hopefully i do not have the sides reversed and it's really mastitis. It does seem to be getting slightly better though. I hope the dyna mint feels good. Again, it's darn good I'm bottle raising because she's too obstructed to make enough for both kids.
