Segovia and Las Meninas were born at about 7:30 yesterday evening.
Segovia was up and on the teat right away. I'm not sure Meninas will make it - she is very tiny, and just doesn't look quite right. She also seems to have some congestion in her lungs. I have tried sucking it out several times, but can't seem to help her clear it.
She is better this morning, but not thru it. I've been giving her her milk in a bottle, so maybe she will catch up. Many years ago in IA, one of the ewes had a newborn lamb I never expected would live - just a tiny limp floppy thing that weighed nothing. Two weeks later, you couldn't have picked her out from the others.
Because of that experience, I'm reluctant to just put her down.
We'll see.
