Oh gosh, yeah i couldnt get in thrre with the feet out, had to push them back in ahead of my hand and in order to get him turned i really had to twist my arm, grab his upper jaw and pull and twist up. Both of these kids seem far FAR more vigorous than mable ever was. We are going to give them their selenium shot tonight and will grab pictures of them then.

Hopefully its the cow milk causing the runs.
Having yellow in the poo can normal for young kids, as you already know. (colostrum)
At this point I'm concerned about salmonella or something similar. Of course its hard to go on right now.
I haven't dealt with this. Maybe @frustratedearthmother has any ideas???
We lost one of our first kids. The little doeling had pooped in the sack before she was born and ingested it. She died the next day. We suctioned her pretty good, but we were already to late. I also think she was premature. I didn't realize it then (we were new) but after looking at the pics again her hooves and face looked premature and she had underdeveloped kidneys. Not saying this is it with Mable- our girl couldn't even stand longer then 45 seconds without falling down.
Be very careful, if this is salmonella you and your daughter could get it too.

Praying for you and Mable

Daisy: twins, one mostly white, some cream buckling, one gold with white poll doeling.
That's wonderful news!Woohoo - I guessed the number and genders right!
x2!Praying for you and Mable
If you can, take a moment for yourself so you can recover from all this craziness. If time for yourself just isn't an immediate option, hang in there a little longer, and know we're all pulling for you.
So glad they both made it, even if the buckling was misrepresented... I hope he does OK. Sorry to hear about the ongoing issues with Mable... I hope she's strong enough to pull through.

Doeling
Buckling
Went out and grabbed them for their selenium shot and they had full bellies.
Mables hanging in there. Walking around a little, but she mostly just shuffles her back feet. They often come up off the ground. Her back end seems sooo much taller than her front end, i think thats part of it.
