saved 3. 1 still in question
My friend has a 10+ year old alpine give triplets 2 days ago, she had to go out of town just in time for her doe to get sick. At first it was milk fever, but now it has gone into mastitis. She had 106.8 temp earlier, but with fluids and meds she is down to normal temps, but is still questionable on surviability. 
However, when I was taking a lunch break from her I got another call about a nigi in labor but not progressing. I talked as much on the phone as possible, but I was on my way out there. Long story short, baby presented with a shoulder and upside-down. Ended up getting the legs out but the head was not coming, so we pushed that one back in and grabbed one from under and got him out~he's healthy! Went back in for stuck baby now that we had more room, and it was such a chore trying to get the head out with the feet. I finally got enough of a hold to be able to get the head out first ~ He had been moving during the whole "try to reposition me" , he was pretty stressed. We vigorously rubbed him for quite a long time. Finally after about 45 minutes he started holding his head up and I think he's gona be ok. Momma was pretty stressed at that point. We had been giving her Vit b, hot molasses water, CMPK and a few raisins. Momma soon popped out another healty boy. All boys were normal sized... I will try to see if the owner will send pics....
