We had rather be over prepared than not have something at 2 am when a doe decides to go into labor. Here are some of the things in our birthing kit. I say some because I am sure I will forget to list something! I have other things but I keep this stocked so I can grab it and run out the door to the birthing pen.
- Thermometers (This is a MUST have if you own a goat.)
- B Vitamins
- Vitamin E and Selenium paste
- Cayenne Pepper
- Molasses
- Gloves and lube
- Probios
- Jump start
- Tums
- Keytosis strips (These are in the diabetic section.)
- Needles and syringes
- Beach towels
- Goat Electrolytes
- Iodine
- Scissors
- Pocket Knife
What do you have in your goat birthing kit?
