Title: Aime is giving birth!
Post by: kageri on April 16, 2014, 11:12:34 AM
1 black velvet drying so far.  Cross your fingers for a brown velvet and that everything continues to go well.  Of course pics will follow after they dry and fluff up.

Triplets.  A beige, a black velvet, and a color I've never seen.  It looks solid white.  Maybe a pink white?  Aime is a beige and Katsu is a tov white.

The pink white has gained half as much weight as it should the past 2 days.  I took out Aime's house so she couldn't get away from them, gave her a supplement meant to increase milk production, and mixed up goat kid formula and critical care that I'm leaving in a low container dry for now.  If it doesn't gain weight properly in the next day or 2 I'll make the milk mix in to liquid to handfeed.

Pink white kit went lethargic this morning and I got her warm and then tried to handfeed but she started showing symptoms of distress.  She died a few minutes ago of what looked like heart failure.

That's terrible. It would have been an awesome color too. I'm sorry to hear that.
