Sad day

Posted by Jan on March 9, 2011 at 8:43am in Kidding

Iris delivered 5 doelings this morning but only one was born alive and she didn't make it. I had to go in after the last one. Iris seems to be all right but tired. 

No wonder I thought she was big enough to deliver in December.

    I'm so sorry, Jan! Do you know if they were premature? Quints can be tough, but it's unusual for all five to die. We just had quints a couple weeks ago (all boys), and one was born dead. Two tried real hard to die, but they finally pulled through and are now doing well. It was a really hard labor for Coco because the kids were tangled up. This is shaping up to be a really hard kidding season for a lot of people. Most years, we just all get excited about our beautiful babies! Next year is bound to be better!

    Unlike my FF who cried for her babies Iris seems oblivious! No crying or looking . She wasn't much interested incleaning the on short lived baby up either. I think this has been a bit much for her.

    aw poor Iris! And you! Been a tough year for everyone so far it seems. I'd be tired too after pushing out that many babies. I'd give her some nutri-drench if you haven't already. I hope the next kidding is much better for you!
