Yesterday March 5, 2021 Joy decided her babies need to come at 143 days. She was at it for an hour. As I'm sitting there talking to her I could tell my old girl just want this to be done. She's my oldest doe. And has always produced. I asked her as she was staring at me do you need help sweetheart. She then finally laid down and started pushing, I stayed close. As the baby stats to appear I realized that was not a foot that was a tail. I then understood her look. So when she pushed I grabbed his hips and out came a lifeless baby buck. So I hung it upside down shook it and cleared it's air ways laid him down and still nothing I rubbed jim vigorously. Still nothing so I shook him upside down again cleared his face again and started rubbing. And just when I stopped rubbing his head moved. And I thought did i do that or you. So I shook him upside down layed him down took straw tickled his nose. And rubbed him and tickled his nose again and then he finally was fighting to breath. About 15-20 min later, she finally was laying down & pushing the second one out she got 3/4 of the way and I grabbed her hung her upside down and wiped all the slim off her face and little noise came out. 2 min later 3 one came out lifeless. I spent what felt like forever trying to get the boy back to life. But had no success. And then I look over and here comes number 4. She pushed it he come sliding out. This one also was lifeless. I shook him upside down cleared his airway and rubbed him vigorously and hung him upside down again and shook layed him down. Wiped his face again and finally alittle noise came out. All the babies were 3 lbs. And mom and the 3 are doing ok so far. Joy is still recovering last night I had to help her on to her back legs. But this morning she had to work at it alittle bit but she was able to do it herself.
