So glad to hear Lucy and her triplets came through so well. They are cute little kids!

I'm so grateful that you gave the narrative of how you did the special move the vet gave you. With me being new to this & 2 does due to kid in the next month and a half, Im going to need all the help I can get. I hope you can post pics of Lucy's butt in the air.

I read where a vet suggested putting a hay bale under them to get that butt in the air. I think that could be very helpful, especially with a big goat, and even more so when you are alone. It is hard to hold a goat in the air and going diving for kids at one time.

@Devonviolet I did say I would try to post a pic- it will be a demonstration pic... lets hope it isn't a REAL teaching pic! ;)

The meds we were all put on seem to make a huge difference. :thumbsup I still feel like the left side of my body was thrown into a brick wall however.

I had to share this- Our dr has a great sense of humor but sometimes you don't always know when he is kidding because he will start out being so serious!
So yesterday he says to DH- "how is everyone's appetite?" Of course here they are like hobbits and nothing stops them from eating!
Dr says they need he flue diet....
Pizza, pancakes, & flounder. :ep

They are all thin enough to slide under their doors! :lol:


Next gem of advice-
Fever-
If you get really cold- pull the blankets all the way up
If you get too hot- throw the blankets off

:D What a nut!

Anyway we have another goat due in two days. I am glad the dam raising thing is working for us right now. LOL
I will try and peek in and see what everyone is doing.

We always turned to SAMBUCA for the flu. From what I understand that was the original purpose for distilling it in the first place. Elderberry is the flu's arch nemesis :tongue it tastes gross but works for us!
