So sweetI was awakened by a goat scream this morning at o'dark thirty. Dear Claire had just pushed out her second kid. A real monster boy! I swear he is three times the size of the brother that preceded him! #1 boy is a true runt - VERY tiny. The last kid out was a gorgeous black & white doe who dove out upside down.
They don't have their real names yet. But we're calling the big guy Sasquatch, the doeling Yeti, and the wee little guy, Pencil - because he is so thin!
Pencil seems quite healthy, but has no sucking reflex. Gave him selenium gel and a tiny bit of honey. He's had a syringe feeding and 2 tube feedings. This last feeding he had he actually sort of sucked and got down enough colostrum to round out his belly. It took a while, but he did it himself, so Huzzah! So I think he'll be up to snuff by tomorrow evening!
Sorry some of the pics are double posted. I'm still figuring out the new website.
