Ummm...so why'd it turn white!?!? I was learning a lot!

ETA - she did have to assist a lot, but everyone looked to be doing well. I wonder if the doe had a prolapse?

Did they run out of tape? I just have a white screen now.

I did not realize that you get in there with your hands to help pull the kids out. I thought that was just if they were having a hard time. Can I assume this doe was having a hard time then?

Was she grabbing a foot to pull out? Gosh, now I'm getting nervous.

This doe did have a particularly hard time. She'd been in active labor for a while & the gal in there had to pull each kid out. Most births go natural with little assistance and some require more help.

I'm sending my thoughts, though - that's for sure!

I'm thinking she assisted because they were tangled up or presented wrong. It's not usual to have to do so much...

Oh gosh, she shut the camera off because it could be bad?

Was all that tummy -heaving the doe was doing abnormal? I have not seen dogs give birth, only dogs and cats and a horse once.

Bye Javamamma!

Yes, SD - what the doe was doing was normal...she was still having contractions.

IT's BACK UP! I wonder if there was a still born & they didn't want us to see? Glad to see everyone doing well, though
