We're having a slightly challenging kidding this year but one of the odd things is this little lad who was born the early hours of this morning.
2nd of triplets. 1st a little girl who practically bounced onto her feet as she was born. He came next, mum needed no help but took a lot longer to get onto his feet and is still quite wobbly although suckling well. Then came another big girl but that is another story. She must have come at least 2 hours later after I thought it was all over (couldn't feel anymore kids when I examined her) and mum didn't clean her up and she died. I feel awful, I should have stayed up but it was past 3am and nothing seemed to have happened for over 90 mins so thought it was all over. Sorry, tired and rambling a bit!
Anyway, back to the little boy, he has this really odd patch of bare skin on his side. It looks like a completely circular burn that has started healing with new pink skin if that makes sense.
Does anyone have any ideas what might have caused this? Was wondering if something like one of the cotyledons could stuck to him?
