I had forgotten about the Therabloat, someone at the county fair said they have it on hand all the time. <br /><br />Where do you get the OB gloves?<br /><br />I forgot the tube--I've got one, but haven't ever used it (thank goodness!)<br /><br />And how do you administer the injectable dextrose? Is there a site (or a page in Small Ruminant binder) that shows how to administer it (future post?)<br /><br />I am not up to doing a C-section--although I remember you describing it! That's WAY beyond my comfort zone!<br /><br />My thought is to re-post the lists in January for any new goat owners who are looking forward to kidding. I'm not an expert, but I think the more places lists like this are posted, the better for newbies!<br /><br />So if you have any other tips or hints or ideas, let me know.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890037981997328026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3331591886946739033.post-72824489292115864302010-08-25T19:18:55.796-06:002010-08-25T19:18:55.796-06:00I noticed a couple of things that weren't on y...I noticed a couple of things that weren't on your list, OB Gloves- the ones that cover up to your shoulder it not only keeps you clean but keeps you from putting dirt/bacteria in the uterus. Nolvasan, as an all purpose disinfectant wash, scalpel in case mom dies and you have to do an emergency c section (only happened to us twice but we did save the babies that way), injectable dextrose-quick energy to save a dieing or frozen lamb-inject directly into the stomach. A feeding tube and syringe to tube feed weak lambs/kids unable to suck. Therabloat, we've had one bloat as she was in labor, that was odd. A good alarm clock so you can get up to check progress on labor every little while during the night ;)Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06736731712648882257noreply@blogger.com
