Sorry to hear of all this but was glad to help try and understand what was going on. If it was a slugfest that she ended up eating, there might not have been any afterbirth to speak of. Most if not all of the liquids associated with giving birth come from inside the viable egg sacks. Where I've seen a bunch of slugs there was not much (if any) fluid. The tan/grey "poop" that reeks is a newly identified phenomenon this year from Betty. She slugged/preemied out and I believe she ate a load of slugs. A couple weeks later there was a nasty, smelly, off colored poop which I believe was the digested slugs..


Hang in there Zach, there's always next year!!
