Loving the herd life
So my does apparently settled on the first breeding, (not the second breeding a week later), so they came a week "early"!
Anywho, the first goat kidded with trips, completely normal and fine. But the second doe kidded with trips and they are very weak. They can barely lift their heads and can't suckle very strong. They all got some colostrum, and more the next two feedings. They are laying recumbent on their sides.
Anything else I can do to help them? Anyone know why they would be born like this?
---------
Update: gave them 3/10ths of a cc of BoSe and vit B shots a couple hours after birth, and a squirt of vitamin e in their mouths, and now a few hours later they are suckling stronger and two actually stood up (but it took them 8 hours after birth) the weakest one can't stand yet but is suckling stronger too and I gave him 1 cc of goats prefer keto-nia drench. They are under a warm heat lamp and are sleeping, at first they were only recumbent, but now are sleeping sternally.
