I just had some born today too. Looks to be 1 boy and 1 girl. Unfortunately my other girl had still borns a few months ago but 2 is better than none!

Not disappointed with this post
Did you try swinging the still borns by the hind legs? These things are born not breathing often.

Happens with many mammals. With dogs at the vet clinic I worked in High School we would hold them in our palm with neck supported slinging them downwards harshly to expel anything. Often using a syringe or baby bulb to clear liquid out of lungs to help them start up their respiratory system is required.

Sorry to hear that bubba. Nothing much ya can do except ensure proper supplementation and minerals access. Sometimes an Iodine issue.

If the goats repeat early birth you can send the premature ones or even placentas in for lab testing to determine the cause. Often times such can be spread through birthing fluids of the infected goat(s)- just something to keep in mind if it’s a repeated issue, but I’m sure ya know more about it than me!

Congrats man!

Those lil cute chubby baby limbs get me every time!

A necropsy can be done....depends on available services in area. Cost varies.

Yep- that’s what I was referring to even the placenta will likely show if it is something!

If common occurrence or repeated definitely worth a check I’d think.

Goats can be hard. You can do everything right and still watch it go downhill fast. Do some research, lots of groups on FB that are great for help/emergencies. Even people actively watching/helping out real time.
