She was wanting to go inside! I raised her in the house so she still wants to go inside. It is her first kidding, so im hoping that everything goes smoothly especially if im not here when it happens.
My goat people believe she got into something "toxic" so they had me give her an 8oz bottle of pepto. she got better right away! Her utter has been enlarging quickly and I really hope she kids before I leave this week. Here are some utter pix. (6-1-14)

Ok the word from another forum was possibly grain overload. I contacted a local goat person and we are figuring it out. She is eating today, just hay and other stuff she can find in the yard. Still drinking, doesnt appear bloated or in any pain. I think if she had eaten too much she helped her...
Hi my female alpine dairy goat is due any day. I do not have a due date for her. Her utter has grown, but not tight/shiny like I've heard described. Her ligaments have been gone. Her sides are sunken, hips very prominent. She displays signs of being ready to kid off and on. She has me crazy...
Hi I'm new to this forum. I have a female alpine dairy goat (due any day now), and a male brier goat. I also have 4 grown hens, a baby hen, and a baby rooster... not to mention my dogs and husband! lol
