Fall 2020 Kidding

His registered name will be "Flash My Cash" and I will call him Flash for short.

Unfortunately, it looks like Magic has a uterine infection and possibly an abscess along her incision. I am starting her on antibiotics today. She's acting great but she is having green vaginal discharge. And she has what looks like a mass where her incision is. I thought it was a hernia at first but it definitely does not feel like it. Vet is having me do a surgical scrub on it and poke a needle near the bottom away from the incision to see what is in it. Of it is pus then obviously an abscess. If it is just serous fluid then no issue. The incision itself actually looks really good.

 

This is what I'm getting out of it. And blood.

 

I lanced it last night at vet's recommendation. It has not filled up again today. It is looking better. Though she hates me now and wants nothing to do with me. Poor girl.

 

Poor Magic presented with what looks like severe bottle jaw today. Swelling is almost to the point where her airway is compromised. She got dewormed and started on red cell. Also got a shot of Dex for the inflammation, vitamin B, and switched on to a new antibiotic. She is on Excenel now instead of nuflor. She is eating and drinking but is miserable. Milk production has dropped drastically.

 

She is still eating and drinking. The swelling is slightly better today and she feels well enough to run from me lol. Milk production is still low though.

 

One of our next does due, Freesia. Should be due end of January. Looking like possibly another set of triplets! She has been on mostly just pasture with oat hay as well. And she's quite round already. She is bred to Electro
