from bad to ok to good to better!!

this morning when we went to check on Lucy and move them

into the pen, she was laying in the barn on her side all sprawled out...

I thought she was gone... I watched for a couple seconds or so and seen her breathing... ok good... I said good morning to her and she raised her head, I helped her up and she went to Sierra and sucked a couple of times... not enough to keep her going for the day... I caught Sierra and DJ held her and I milked her out into a bowl, her bag was so full, I'm sure she was pleased to have it done...

I forced Lucy to eat, and then we milked Sierra some more so I could feed her again before I went to work.

I called Floyd to see if he could give me any advice, he said to cut the nipple just a tiny bit bigger so she wouldn't have to suck as hard, also to add a tsp of sugar for energy and could even add a bit of egg for exrta strength for her...

At 10:30 I went to feed her again.. she drank about 2 ozs. I massaged her belly and that seemed to bring out a bit more poop.

she was sitting up better and I left for work...

Stacy phoned me later and said she was walking around a bit and there was poop on her back end. I just didn't hear how much...

man this little girl was "a explosion of poop" is how DJ described it.

Albert called later about 3 and said she was up and about and he watched her nurse on Sierra for about 5 mins or more!!

things are looking up.

I got home at 4 for supper and they had fed Lucy 2 ozs of formula from a bottle and she was still looking for more... she I gave her another 3 ozs and said that was enough, too much isn't good either.

By the time I got home at 8:30, she was up and running around a bit!!

her eyes look bright and alert and she was giving kisses again!!

It's so awsome!!

Yesterday I wasn't so sure she would make it through the night.

so things are look good...

we were giving her vege oil 3 times a day since the surgery, and now since the explosion we're going to cut back too 2 times at least for awhile anyway until she's a bit stronger and the sts are out.

thanks so much for the positive thoughts and prayers,

it really helped!!

till next time.....
