Click on the word "pic" in my last post, and you'll see it in my FB account.

Did one of yall from here just send me a friend request?
If you'll send me a message so I know who you are from HT, I will add you.

I had a goat do that once after a rough birth and she was on the chunky side. It seemed to have take alot out of her, I was worried about a retained kid so I went digging around in there I also gave her a shot of lute to be on the safe side.

The next day after getting some rest she was back to her normal self. Sometimes kidding can knock the energy out of them for a day or so. They do bounce back faster then us humans but sometimes they need a bit of rest.

Here's a pic of her kid who was so weak - doing good now, but still not as strong and bouncy as her sister. Making good progress though!

Having dealt with the same thing last year. . . as soon as I read it, I thought. . .Milk Fever. Give the weak kid Bo Se as someone about instructed.
