New day, Arian is doing very well with her mum, she seems to be feeding even if I have not witnessed it!
She is warm and lively!
Maybe tonight I can cut out the 2am check!!

Thank you chickem that brought tears to my eyes! At times like these I don't feel like a rough tough smallholder, more like a wibbly girlie, it hurts to think about poor little cloud but I know I need to concentrate on the living.
Steff asked this morning where is cloud? I told him she had died, he asked why and I explained, he asked if he could see her! I said after we had checked Arian, we checked Arian and he asked again, I said but Steff she is dead there is no point, he said ok and carried on, I wish things were that simple as you get older maybe I need to adopt his approach to it all!

So sad to hear that. Take heart that there was probably something wrong with her though: you did all you could for her.

Hugs from here too.

Awww so sorry Liz. But if you couldn't save her then no one could, so don't beat yourself up. Its oh so hard when this happens (speaking from experience) and you have a heavy heart, BUT you still have one who will delight and enthral you and Steph, so go and 'play' and 'enjoy' - they grow sooooo fast.

Two days ago Arian took a turn for the worst,
we have struggled long and hard to keep her going
this morning I realize we have lost the fight
she will be put down today.

So sad, but you've probably made the right decision. Sending hugs.

She is totally off her legs, looks like a brain injury, her legs are just not working, yet she is bright in herself. She has not walked for 36 hours, I have tried everything

Oh dear, that is a shame. It is very hard when you put lots of work and effort into them and they still die.
