Re: [AlpacaTalk] 326 day preemie born this morning
We were at a show all day, so wasn't here to answer. To me, 9.2 lbs
sounds more than 3 weeks early. I'd check the breeding dates. And
really, for a temp of 94º, she should have been warmed up with blow
dryers until her rectal temp was more like 100º. She definitely needs
more colostrum. And if she won't take a bottle you may need to learn
hoe to tube feed. If she were mine, I'd call the vet.
