Knotted umbilical cord on an Albino Arab

skyslinger May 16, 2008 05:47 PM

I mentioned this in my post the other day and then posted the wrong pic. No one said anything though. You guys are too nice! Anyways, this little guy was the only one in the litter that had any yolk left and I am guessing that it was because of this knot. It will tighten and loosen depending on how close it is to the baby's naval. He was left witth it for 24 hours and then tied off and removed. There was another post about this I think after my last one so I thought I would post this and maybe clear up my error the other day. (On my behalf though, I had just returned from a rough night at the ER for run-away back pain! Sorry for all the rambling! Here are the pics!
