Her temp is 107 :O Are there any human fever reducers you can give a goat? I don't think we have any asprin...going to give her pen g asap. Lungs sounded clear but I don't know what fluid would sound like...no raspiness...

I can take her temp but I haven't yet. I have a stethoscope so I will try to listen to her lungs but she can get jumpy if she thinks I'm doing anything but pet her. The buck seems fine, he was headbutting the fence to get to the lafies the last time I went out there. I have not given them any...

Thank you for the response! Is there any special type of thermometer to use? And I'm assuming to take it rectally? And last question, I have penicillin g on hand, would that work as well? Or even tylan?

One of my does just started coughing yesterday. From what I could find online, allergies is common in goats and it seems like a lot of people around are having them now so I didn't think much of it. Today she just doesn't seem herself, wouldn't stand up to eat and when I finally got her to...

He IS adorable!! I do believe the sire was a pygmy. I honestly don't know anything about breeds and what classifies as what. So, since you mention it, any idea what breed the mother is? Or the sire?

Well I think she is done, doesn't seem as agitated now. I checked her but I didn't go in far, it felt she wasn't fully dialated so I didn't want to force it. I assume that means she is done but I'm going to keep my eye on her...

Thank you all for the congrats! I don't have a mentor and I have a vet but I'm not sure she has much experience with kidding. I have read up on "going in" if I have to. She is still restless and pawing at the ground. I think I am going to go in, just didn't want to if it was just because I'm...

Oh yea, she is great with him. He was almost completely clean and already nursing by the time we found them. She's up again pawing at the ground :/

Finally layed down. Maybe she is calming down. Still grunting a bit but not as much... On another note, the flies are horrendous! I cleaned her off as best I could but they are still swarming her! Poor girl...

Afterbirth has passed, she still seems restless...

Finally!! We have a baby boy!! She had him at least an hour ago. I was at work and my bf missed it so not sure exactly when. The "red sac" is still intact and she is grunting a bit and pawing at the ground. Is it normal for a second one to take this long? We checked her stomach and it still...

Thank you! After all this, the least she could do is give me some doelings!

Nope, she's dragging this out as long as she can! I think she's almost there though, her udder has gotten bigger just since this morning and her ligaments are just about gone...

That's pretty awesome. I believe the twins in my dream were black, white, and brown. Both the mom and dad were solid tan so I don't think that part will come true lol

Well if that was an alternate dimension, I am hoping for two girls in this one! It finally stopped raining! I just hung out with her for about an hour. She did this thing a couple times where she arched her back really awkwardly and I though it could be contractions but it only lasted a second...

Still no babies! :barnie And it's been raining all day so she is staying in her shelter, which was not built for humans. I can get in there but it's less than 4ft tall so I have to practically crawl into it. We are building a bigger one but didn't get it done in time for babies... I had a dream...

Not a whole lot of change, ligaments feel slightly more loose (or is that my imagination??) But her side seems surprisingly bigger today. I did notice about half an hour ago she was laying down and making a really low grunting type noise, almost sounded like grinding teeth. I'm actually sitting...

No change today :/ I wonder if she is gonna keep torturing me for the rest of the week...

Thank you!! Her ligaments do feel like they are more loose but still there. She's also got some crusty stuff goin on, should I try to clean that? I feel bad, she's got gnats all over her business. I was really hoping she would kid today but I'm guessing she is gonna wait until I go to work in...

It all makes sense now! Haha Now she's back to pawing the ground and acting restless...
