The vet suggested two things,

One, Pumping minerals down her throat to gain her strength

Or Two, Abort the babies. Since they're just taking all of her nutrients.

If the minerals don't work, we're going to try to abort the babies. We're going to loose them if she dies anyways. Such hard decisions.

Gosh that sounds awful. What a difficult position to be in, I'm so sorry. I hope the outcome is good.

I'm so sorry, you tried so hard. Being a shepherd comes with a lion's share of heartaches. :hugs

Thanks everyone,

I feel sad that she had to go and we couldn't save her, but in a way I feel relieved too. It was so hard to see her in such a way, and she was just suffering so much.
