yet another issue

ugh!

The baby Narcissus had still cant walk due to a leg problem at birth, she can stand, but not walk. I went to feed her again today and She was lying down drooling a bit with her mouth open, i picked her up and she didnt close her mouth, theres nothing blocking it and stuck my finger insde to see if it was cold, but it wasnt. She has a slight diarreaha because we had to switch milks, and tonight i'm able to get real goats milk (yay i hope), I took her temo and its too low (97) but shouldnt her mouth be cold??

Well anyway, I have no idea why all of this is happening, and it seems its just getting worse, tough delivery, kids cant stand, no milk, infection, bottle jaw (even when I wormed), and now the kid may be sick :sigh: the rest of kidding season must be better though right?

What should I do? I need the baby to live.

 

thank you

I couldnt get any bo-se, I'm out of selenium/vit e all together.

How much of the whiskey and mollasses?
Also whats the dosage for small kids (thiamine and penG)

 

Okay

I dont know what CVS is, but I'll call some people and ask about borrowing some bo-se
i gave her 1.5 cc of b-12 already brought her inside on heated blanket and threw some small towels in the dryer, also gave 1 cc of nutri drench orally. Couldnt find any whiskey, but im going to give her some mollasses and coffee.

she isnt holding her mouth open anymore, shes sitting up leaning against a chair back and looking like shes breathing normally again.


noticed something though, her back legs are cold, and one wont bend. She had small sores where she was walking on them, and i slpinted the with vet wrap. so i took the wrap off. could it be infected or something?? I did put iodine and neosporin on the sores before wrapping.... :worried:

 

shes doing better i think'

shes been moving her legs around trying to get comfy and shaking (not tremors) just trying to shake.
she hasnt been fed for awhile now So i'm going to go pick up the goats milk, i'm sure shed appreciate it.

 

i'm thinking that maybe her dam layed on her. that would explaing her being weak and cold.

 

okay thanks, i didnt think of that :doh:

 

well just when I thought she was improving, she passed on. I dont think she was in any pain. I know her brother is well, when i found her in the pen this afternoon, she was partially underneath the mother. So I'm sure if must have contributed to the issue. I managed to get her temp up to 99.1.

You know? It really makes me wonder how some people can throw their animals hay every few days and water, no hoof trimming or worming, and their animals never get sick.

 

yeah. I know I didnt cause the death, she was doing fine apparently only a few hours before i found her. I've had this happen once before with the piglets....they just dont know how big the mom is, and its warm under there.

thanks bheila and pam.

now hopefully this next doe kidding isnt soooo dramatic.

 

yeah, only 8 or so more to go over the next few months. whew.
