This guy's Mom gave birth deep in the woods early this morning. It took me about ten minutes to find them when I noticed she was missing from the rest of the herd.
When I did find them, I saw she had triplets. One baby was frozen and dead, another looked just fine and was trying to nurse from Momma. But this guy was lying all his side wet and VERY cold while breathing heavily.
I scooped him up and his brother who was still alive and put them in my jacket. I got their Mom to follow me to the barn and I placed down the healthy baby and left him with Mom.
I took this guy home with me to get him warm and give him some formula. After an hour of sitting on a heating pad surrounded by blankets and I blow dried him, he started trying to stand and squirm around. So I made him some formula and he ate very eagerly.
Now he's in my bedroom away from my dogs taking power naps then running around on repeat.
I plan to try to take him back to his Mom when the temperatures get a little warmer at least above freezing, hopefully she'll accept him because if not he'll be a bottle baby.
Got called to the barn last night wicked late because one of the kids from ln’s birth was all floppy and not responding. He is doing better today but we are still unsure if he will pull through. His sister, brother, and mom are all doing great he just Got Made Wrong
