First Kidding Soon! Getting supplies together.

Okay, I hope it's soon.

My Alpine, Bunny, is a FF. We don't have a due date as she spent several months with the buck, but she has a belly and has developed udder. I'm checking for "signs" all the time, and I'm home a lot so I'm hopeful I won't miss the event.

I'm currently putting in an order to Jeffers as my girls all need their copper boluses. While I'm working on my order, I wanted to see what else I might need.

I added a weak kid syringe to my cart.
Should I order a colostrum supplement "just in case"? (I don't have any, this is my first kidding)
Anything else? (I have bottles etc, just need "newborn" stuff!)

Yes on the colostrum. Better to have it and not need it than the other way around. So Ill start.
BoSe for kids and momma. RX
CMPK RX
Vitamin supplement (Mulitmax) RX
Worm meds for worming momma on kidding day. (Cydectin Pour on or Quest Gel or ?)
nipple for bottle in case you need it.
kid puller
Thiamine
syringes with needles.

I have quite a collection(lots more than listed) but I didn't have the Vitamin supplement and I could of used it for the kids that were born early.
