well this just bites
quads born today, 3 boys 1 girl and I doubt the girl is going to make it, she was apparently the first born and by far the skinniest. It looked like a very fast and smooth delievery but mom was a first timer, her mom was trying to help clean them up but all four got pretty chilled. 
Btw, as you would know, the girl is very loudly colored, shes so stinking cute. I gave the two weeker ones some b12 and they are in front of my comfort furnace with a heating pad, hopefully I can pull them through.

Anyone have BO-SE close to Patricia for the doeling? She can't get any - I am sure that would make a LOT of difference in the doeling quick

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the 2 little ones! I bet you'll do wonders with them.
Keep us updated on their progress.

Ill get pics soon, they are on my FB Patricia Cannon I dont think you can see my wall but can see my pics.
Little doe is not as floppy but still very concerning, shes so flat I bet shes not 2 inches wide, thats whats scaring me. She has a brother about in the same shape. Gotta go flip them on the heating pad and go feed the other four

I have had a triplet and a quad or two be weak, to the point they cannot walk the first day and have jelly hooves. They did harden but not quickly.
If you can get the Bo-Se, keep them warm and feed them often, so often you want to scream, wear more colostrum then they drink, then I bet they will have a good chance.
Have you noticed colostrum is a horrible drying agent?
