Coco gives me more than half a gallon right now. I milk her in the mornings and evenings.<br />How do I care for a postpartum doe that loses kids? I give her lots and lots of TLC. She will cry for her babies and be confused and sad. I let her lick me - somehow she thinks I might be her baby, because she could smell her babies on me. So she licks and licks and "talks" to me like she would do with her babies, and I let her do it. I make sure she has all the nutrition she needs now that she is producing milk: grain, minerals, baking soda, alfalfa hay, grass hay. I give her some Tums for the calcium. I also gave her some Ecinacea tincture to help her immune system, plus dewormed her with herbal wormer.Marblemount Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10591217272029541556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612862199192033310.post-85213700020972562402014-03-22T22:46:49.531-07:002014-03-22T22:46:49.531-07:00Poor mama.....How terriifying to have babies come ...Poor mama.....How terriifying to have babies come early for the doe and yourself! You have such a beautiful family all caring for the little soul. Silly question...if a goat gives birth preterm...does she still milk? How do you care for a postpartum doe that looses kids?
