Sarafina had her babies. new pictures.

Sarafina has had 5 babies, this evening. I don't think she is done. And I am not sure how good a mom she is going to be. when I got to her room this evening, she had 2 babies in her nest andthey were getting cold. And she had 2 babies in her litter box, all covered in litter. I got them out, wiped them off and found that none of the afterbirths were cleaned off. Well, I never dealt with that before, so uncertain what to do I just cut them off leaving a couple inches of umbilical cord on the babies. then I got them onto a heating pad and tried to get them warmed up. All while I am doing this, Sarafina is having another baby!

After we got that one wiped off a bit I convinced mom to come onto the heat pad and care for her babies. She licked them only half heartedly, but stayed while I treid to get them to nurse.

The 2 blacks must have been born first. A grey next and then 2 whites. The whites seem the weakest. Here is the photo of this first 5 I quickly snapped.


And like I said, I really don't think she is done. I need to be in bed SOON! even though I'd love to stay up to see if I can be of help to her. (I am SOOOOO not a night person) I pray that they survive and she cares for them properly.

Le tme throw in 2 photos from yesterday. See how fat??





Pray for these little ones. I hope Sarafina cn be the great mom Angelica has been.
