Thanks Taffy. I had a hard time with it and cried a lot the first day, but Nubbin and I are both bouncing back emotionally, and I'm excited about Nubbin's pretty little udder which is far better than her mother's. I can't wait till another week or so to start trying her milk. Right now it's still a little bitter from the colostrum.
Dave, I've been monitoring Nubbin's health and giving her 6 cc's of peni-cillin once a day, and today she started having some discharge for the first time since she gave birth. It has a faint odor and is an orangey color. Her temperature is still normal and she's acting and eating fine. Does this sound yucky, and do you think I should start peni-cillin twice a day? I'm planning to call the vet in the morning and see what he says and also see if I can get some more peni-cillin. I'm not sure mine will last beyond the weekend, and I want to make sure I have enough on hand to keep treating her longer if necessary.
