First tragedy

This morning at the 8:30 feed up, as I was going up to feed sheds I noticed Meadows hovering over a baby. Meadows, aka Granny”, is about 8 + years old and the oldest goat I have. Now back to the baby. She had 2 but one was dead and the other almost. She (the baby) was very week, so I help mom dry her off as it was 36 degrees. She could not stand and legs are very weak. I gathered her up with some towels and did the finger in mouth trick and found a cold tongue. I headed to the Corel and got a five gallon dark bucket and put her in some hay to lay on in the bucket and placed it in the sunshine. Made a hay barrier to protect from wind. She made it thru today so far but still weak but trying to move around. Now back to finding her this morning, I gave her a dab of selium and a little vets RX. About 11:00am mama still wouldn’t let her suck, so I took my drench him apart and milked about 20ml of colostrum and fed it to her. She ate most of it so i left her in the sun, in the bucket and had to go out of town for a while. When got back late this evening and went back to feed the herd and she was still alive and trying to pull around a little. I tried to milk mama but didn’t get but about 15 ml in my drench gun so she ate that up, I just kinda stuck my finger in her mouth and she would suck on it so I slipped the drench needle in and very slowly drench the milk so she wouldn’t strangle. Mom is doing good it appears, so I gave her 6 ml of B Complex first thing this morning after I found her with the baby. Don’t know what the night will bring but she is under a shed with mom and out of the wind where it’s warm and dry. Maybe tomorrow she will stand. I thought mom was in good shape and ready to birth. Fool me.
