And she drinks! Not sure what made her do it but I'm happy she did.

Woohoo, what a scare, so glad she's drinking again!
Maybe she was just in shock over having so many babies haha

I'm still supplementing a few of the small ones as I don't think she is quite up to taking care of all of them but I'm so glad she is drinking again

Since it's the second litter she's done this with, would you give her one more go at being a mum after these little ones and then if she continues to jeapordise herself and her babies, cull her?

@mikiz I'm going to cull her it is too much worry when she stops eating and drinking about a week before she kindles and since I am having o supplement the kits it isn't worth it for me to keep her. I was planning on selling her anyway after this litter was weaned now I can't justify selling her as breeding stock knowing her history which is sad I love this doe despite her attitude problem she was my favorite since she was born.

Sad but sensible news 
it's always the favourites that make us do things we don't want to do!

Ok so bad news is I have lost 4 kits but good news is since I brought them in for full time bottle feeding I haven't lost one. That means I'm down to 4. They are growing slowly but surely. They are getting fed twice a day once when I get up and another when I get home from work. Will they make it I'm not sure but I'm doing what I can to make sure they don't suffer.

@Hens and Roos I am feeding them a mixture of condensed milk, water, egg yolk and karo syrup. I found the recipe online and it seems to be working well
