What a day...

It's been an up and down day. First wokeup to find one of the twins I have been nursing inside had died. The other is still very weak but eating well. I go outside to bring the baby to his mom to see if maybe she could get him to want to stand and to my suprise I found out she stole someone elses kid overnight! She did reject this one. Also Krissy STILL has bottlejaw but I think is over the ketosis. So in one week she has had two doses of Ivermec Plus, and two of three doses of Panacure (sp?) UGH! I knew worms were bad here but COME ON! Friedrich made it (my miracle baby) but his mom isn't producing much milk since she has been so sick. So he stays with mama and twice I day I supplement with a bottle. Oh and if you want more details of what I am talking about you can always view my blog and see picks of the little guys

So sorry about the loss. Did you give them Bo-Se at birth? 1/4 cc for dwarf breeds and 1/2 cc for full size breed kids. It is for weakness in kids.
