A very
difficult kidding left this doe kid almost completely limp. She
was tube fed for several days while she slowly came to life starting
at the nose and working backwards (which is why she is still affectionately
known as "Dishrag"). At 5 days she could stand if you
stood her up, and nurse from a bottle on her own. At one week she stood up by herself, and
at 9 days she walked. By three weeks of age, she seemed almost perfectly
normal except for her left hind foot, which persisted in knuckling
over so that she walked on the front of her pastern. We splinted
this foot using a small finger splint; two weeks later the splint
came off for good, and now you can't tell that there was ever anything
wrong with her.
I'm hoping
that this breeding will produce an udder similar to her close cousin
Electra's, since this is a similar combination of Luck ofthe Draw
with one of his sisters, in this case MCH Twin Creeks LS Pixie Fern.
