:celebrate
Isn't she adorable? Blue eyes, blonde hair... sweet little thing. Thankx to my friend Deanna, she gave Mirra to us after we lost our 2 kids during Olivia's kidding.
So nice of her! :love
:hugs thankx to all. Olivia is doing ok now. I spoke with my friend/breeder who sold her to me and also had my other friend (who has experience with this stuff) and they both felt she was doing ok.
It was hard but we're all doing ok. My friend/breeder was so upset because she didn't...
:hit
Very sorry to have to post this... we were up all nite. Olivia's first kid came out all twisted up and was very hard for her to birth. By the time she had gotten done with number 1 (it didn't survive) number 2 had also passed away.
She's still acting like she's having...
:duc
Well spent most of the day and afternoon sitting with Olivia in the heat in the barn and we're still waiting. She's panting... pacing/up and down.... talking/yawning...ligaments are gone completely....
How the heck long should this take?
:hu
:thumbsup
Ok we have an udder that is doubled in size and firm!!! We're yawning and talking and the ligaments are gone!!!!
WOOOHOOOO So how long do we have to wait? :hu
:weee
Congrats!!! Thinking my Olivia is going to kid soon...she's talking/laying down/paw ground/pacing... Her udder has gotten larger today...
YEAH!!! Adorable babies!!!! :clap
:duc I swear if this Olivia doesn't give up the kid soon I'm going to lose my mind!!!!
:lau Oh wait I lost my mind already!!!!
LOL She's panting today and moving around sort of anxious... Her tail is standing more upright and isn't going down like it was before.
:idunno
I think Olivia has decided NOT to have her baby/ies...LOL No real change. Noticed she's "twitching" on her right side but not sure if that's just muscle spasms... ligaments feel "lower" if that makes sense
Saw her yawn this morning...but then again so was I (yawning)...
:duc
I am with ya! Olivia was bred the same time as my friends' doe. She already has her baby doe... but Olivia is NOT giving up her baby yet!
I'm making many trips to the barn to check on her and sitting and rubbing her belly and neck... but NOOOOOOOO she doesn't want to give it up...
:pop You're welcome to wait with me...LOL
I think I'm seeing her having some early contractions... keep running down every few minutes to check on her. I'm new... not sure what to notice.
We'll be NEW together.
:thumbsup
:pop
We're getting there I think... Today I took a chair inside the fence and Olivia stood for well over 20 minutes just letting me rub her chin and neck...and sides.
I'm seeing a sunken area on her tail that wasn't like that before.... not sure if you can see it in this pic...
Thankx!!! I'm hoping it all goes well. She's a sweet doe and even though we've only had our 3 girls for a couple weeks we've gotten VERY attached already.
:thumbsup
The lady I bought her from had a Nigerian that was bred the same time and she had her kid last week... So she's due....
:ep I know she looks like she needs a "wide load" sign and flashing lights....LOL
She's a FF 4 yr old Registerd Nigerian Dwarf...
I "think" I feel ligaments but her belly has REALLY shifted and her area between the "pin bone" and tail looks sunken to me. I'm a newbie and this is our first kidding so I'm unsure of terms and all....
I like the excitement but I'd...
