Duchess had her babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[miss_thenorth]

Duchess the grey sheep has three little lambs!!!!!!!!! All appear to be doing well, although mum still has something haning out of her. She doesn't appear to still be contracting, and her demeanor is fine. Will this take care of itself or do I need to intervene?
The lambs were damp, so I figure she muct have birthed a few hours ago. any advice? I'm heading over to BYH to post there.

Does it look like the placenta?

If so, do not pull it out, let her pass it herself. If you pull it out some could get stuck inside and cause problems.

Now we need pictures..

Edit;

You could give her some Gatorade in some warm water and probios too. How cold is it there? Have you got a heat lamp or something similar?

leave the afterbirth alone, it will come out, she will eat it probaby unless you take it away.....I let mine eat them usually.

make sure she has alot of water and some light feed and alot of hay and let nature take its course.

FC, one needs to be prepared just in case We were able to dip the umbilical cords of two of the lambs, and will get the last one later. I didn't want to stress them out too much, and they were trying to suckle so we just backed off to let nature take its course. When we check later on, we will see if they all have suckled., Plus we will go back and take pics.

DD and I were just getting out of the truck coming in from town, and I heard Dolly, the other sheep baaaaa, so of course we baaaa'd back, and then we heard a tiny little baaaaa.


Well, lemme tell ya, I don't run, like the house is on fire? No, I;ll walk quickly out of the house, type of 'I don't run'. Well, when I hear that little baaaa, followed by another little baaaaaa, one lamb was out of the sheep house, with the other one sticking its cute little head out--- I RAN!! IN SNOW!! Oooh they are just so precious!

OK, back down to earth for a moment. Yes, I believe it is still placenta, so I will just let her expel it naturally.

Yay! Babies are wonderful! Especially babies that have a great mommy to take care of them.
