Thanks everyone for all of your responses, tonight when I fed mom seems to be doing better she is eating grain, hay and drinking water. I was going to check her gums and temperature and I forgot. I gave her a penncillin shot last night, because I had to go in and check for more babies and she had such a hard time having that second baby I thought she needed some antibiotic. I am going to give her another shot tonight and I will check temp and gums than. both babies are frisky and have full bellies, I have seen them nurse some I will keep making sure that they do nurse. She doesn't seem to be pushing anymore she is still during that short fast breathing but not as much as last night, I have never had one do that for this long, I think maybe she is just too fat and that is making her breath fast.
I will keep you posted
Cindy
