Name: Cheryl Eastern Ky Truth should be everpresent.
We have some sadness at our house today. One of my does had her kids today. She was not due until middle of next month. She had twins. The doeling was stillborn. The little buckling is super small and very weak. I am afraid he may also be blind. I am working dilligently with him. I milked his Momma and got him to take some colostrum from a bottle. I gave him some gel paste for newborns to give him a lift and I put some electrolyte powder in his milk. I am keeping him warm in the house and taking him out to see his Momma every couple hours. I am hoping he gets strong enough to reunite with her. He is starting to struggle a bit to try and stand. He layed beside her for a while. She licks him a little and when she called to him he tried to answer. We are calling him Bartimaus (sp?) but praying he is not actually blind. He is a cute lil buggar. I will try to get a good pic of him to post. Please say a prayer for the little guy.

It is not looking good for him. I cannot get him to drink and I know if I do not get some milk into him soon he will not live through the night. It makes me so sad. There has been way too much death in my life this month. I have lost 6 people dear to me in 25 days and now this.

He was so weak he couldn't stand to nurse. I am going to get some goat drench to have on hand. That might have saved him but it also may have not made a difference. I think he was blind.
