She's not lethargic, she's up and about and alert.
I noticed her milk supply isn't as it should be. I did do the goats milk recipe and she does drink that up really well. Basically, that's all she really wants.
Is this normal?
Thank you |
Most girls will not eat well for the first 24 to 48 hours after whelp, but will pick up after that.
There is also the whelping pudding receipe (sticky in this section). Attempt giving her scrammbled eggs.
However, I would consult with your vet.
How is her temp? Are you sure that all the placentas were removed?
