Is any one having the same experience that I am haveing with larger multiple births. Not so much triplets,but with quads and quints , we had quints born on the 17th of May and lost one of the does last night she was 2 1/4 lbs. at birt and was up to 3 lbs. , they were out in their small pen and got rained on ,temp 60 deg. fah. ,she developed a slight wheeze on Monday , treated her, she at 125 ml at 4 o'clock pm on Tuesday and was dead Wednesday morning. I know that lungs are the last organs to fully develop , is this preventable in large multiples or are some of them just put on this earth looking for a place to die. I have always said that I would take 8 lb, twins over 4 lb. triplets anyday.
