Since Ol Thelma kidded - Here's Louise --- Sad update. Really not good

[manybirds]

Just at 9lbs. Not black, a mahogany paint, couldn't tell last night. Solid as a freaking rock. He would have been amazing if he had made it. He was just way too big for her to handle. He had a brown stripe down his back and a spot or two on his legs.


The other doe that came w/ her is the same age. We thought about doing an ultrasound and lute but I think I am just going to lute her and we'll go from there. I am not going through this again if I can avoid it. Any baby that is smaller than it is going to get will be easier to pass than that monster was. It wasn't just his weight he was BIG. All his teeth were out, his front legs covered the width of 2.5 of my fingers.


Anyway. Probably the last big update on this. Heading out to go bury them. Everybody is loaded up in the van and they are digging the hole at dad's at about 9.

I wouldn't lute (if i'm not mistaken-which i very well might be- and it causes abortion) the other doe this far along. but they're your goats do what u think best

Rest in peace, dear goats. My heartfelt condolences to you.

I'm new here, and just read this whole thread. Wanted to let you know that my heart breaks for you. I still cry when we lose a chicken to a fox. So sorry.
