Goat acting strange

Cmpk tastes awful. The carrots sound way better! I give my does calcium Gummies. Most love them. They are in vitamin aisle at Walmart.

 

Quick question what is cmpk?

 

Often used for Calcium booster

CMPK D3 Drench is an oral Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Vitamin D3 Supplement for use before and after freshening in Dairy and Beef Cattle, to help maintain normal levels of these nutrients, CMPK D3 Drench is also suggested for sheep and goats.

 

How is your doe doing this evening? Assuming she was induced several hours ago is her labor active yet?

 

I hope all goes well @aimiecrowder . Will check in again before bedtime and first thing in the morning. You and the doe will continue to be in my thoughts.

 

I hope your doe is ok?

 

So do I. Checked your thread a little earlier, figured you may have had a long night with her and would get back to us later this morning.

 

awe so sorry you lost two. this little one is beautiful. Prayers he and mom recovers. Try helping her up, support with a large towel/sling if needed. fingers crossed

 

Am sorry there were 2 stillborn. Hopefully the gorgeous brown buckling and the doe continue to gain their strength. Let her see, sniff, lick, her surviving baby; offer him to her rear end first. You may have already done this, so my bad if you've been there done that.

 

Ooooh he is adorable. Sorry you lost 2. Good luck

 

@aimiecrowder How is everything going with you, the doe and the newborn buckling?

 

How her temp? Is she staying upright? Are you working her legs for her, adding resistance? Goats loose muscle strength super fast. Laying around doesn't help rumen function...she need to get up, even with help. Use a large towel like a sling and see if she will get up with support. The longer she's down, the less likely she will get back up.
Would do b complex daily to support her system. Probiotics to keep proper flora.
Might try a uterine flush. 50/50 warm vinegar and water...use a larger syring or squeeze type bottle to flush her out.

Prayers she rallies

 

Oh Aimee, I really hope she turns the corner soon for you.....

 

So sorry Aimie. @happybleats gave some very good advice in the post a few before this one. The doe needs more after care yet.

Very possibly some more oxytocin to help pass the after birth, more than likely a round of antibiotics, a uterine flush as described by "happybleats" is needed as well, would do that as soon as possible. Wouldn't hurt to check her inner eyelids also.

Try to help support her so she can stand up. Maybe prop some bales of hay beside her once you get her in an upright laying down position. Laying flat makes it more difficult to breath properly, causes the rumen to want to shut down and makes it more difficult for recovering.

Aimee, the doe is suffering.

 

Good luck with her. I know how difficult all of these complications can be. Hang in there, okay. Whatever the case may be, we are here if you need us for advice, to hear the success stories, for a boost of strength, for words of encouragement, to vent out frustration, a shoulder to cry on ...
