Okay... I'm worried that the dog may go after the baby... He's pretty rough on things he's not familliar with. I guess his instincts get the best of him. In the past two days it seems like her utter has doubled in size. I wish so much that we would have known she was pregnant when we got her...
Thanks soooo much!! You think that the dog wont also bond with the kid? I was hopein' it would be one big happy family! i know that the dog would go after baby, but I know I could train him to the newborn just as i did to the doe to begin with... do you think she would allow it?
I'm in South Carolina and the Goat is a yard goat that is bonded to our springer spaniel :hugs .... It's a long story... She's calming down in the pen now i think...
Was't even sure my doe was preggers until she started producing milk. Today she passed the "plug" from what i've gathered here. I've got her in a pen away from the dogs and anything elese (She is the only goat I have). She hates being in the pen. How long after the "plug" will she go into labor...
Ok... A while back I noticed the goat was producing milk!! Well I just went outside and saw a white discharge comming out of her vagina! What do I do?? Help!
I'm trying to post a picture, but I can't seem to figure out how... :( We've had Maggie now since May... As far as i know she has never givin birth... then again I'm not sure how old she is, what breed or much of anything before we got her.
I am fairly new at handling a goat. Not sure what breeds she may be or what to expect. Yesterday out of sheer curiosity I Squeezed her teet. I was unbelievably shocked when a stream of milk nearly soaked my face!!! I cannot find any information on why suddenly she is producing milk or if maybe...
