Birth Chill is one of the main killers of baby goats.
In many cases they CAN be saved!
You MUST act QUICK!
Here's how I have saved some babies who would not have otherwise made it from Birth chill-
Take the baby in the house and place it in a sinkful of warm water up to the neck.
Make sure you don't leave baby unattended.
At the first signs of life and consciousness take baby from bath and wrap in a warm dry towel.
You need to dry baby completely in front of a heater while briskly towel drying baby.
While you are doing this you need to get some nutrition into baby as the blood sugar is very low.
Chilled babies cannot suckle!
I use a mixture of strong warm coffee and molasses given orally with a small syringe making sure you do NOT allow any of the liquid to go into the lungs.
Hold baby's head straight not tilted up while administering liquids like this.
Baby will only take a small amount- a few cc's at best.
In the mean time have someone milk some colostrum from mama and add this to your mixture...again keeping it warm (warmer than tepid) and in small amounts many times-say every few minutes.
The whole while you are in front of the heater or blow dryer and rubbing baby to simulate mama's licking and stimulation she would be doing.
This may take hours so get comfortable.. I have saved babies who were unconscious at the start.
DO NOT FEED AN UNCONSCIOUS BABY ORALLY!
You may with an unconscious baby administer Dextrose Sub Q.
