Sounds like your dog went through a lot. Pyometra can be a killer. Glad She is happy and healthy now.
Nilla of course......isn't showing signs it'll be today. Udder is slightly bigger.
Here is our future sire.
Getting ready to leave to go get our dog from the vet.
Nillas udder is still no where near filled. She is holding out. She is driving us crazy. Her ligaments are still there. Soft but still very much there.
Took our dog down to the city vet this morning. Have to pick him up first thing tomorrow morning.
Rhea is due Saturday. We'll see if she...
Nillas udder is SLOWLY filling. She's keeping us on our toes. It is already cold here. Waiting for the storm to roll in. We'll be deep cleaning today. I have to leave really early in the am to take our dog to get fixed in the city tomorrow. I am stressing over it now. Our vet we use, refuses to...
Today is day 145 for Nilla. She does not look like she will be kidding today. Her udder is filling, but not full. The swelling on her vulva is worse today. Really hope she kids soon. The swelling is concerning me. Rhea has 7 days until day 145.
Nilla is acting off today. I seen her have contractions. No pushing. I think they're just pre labor contractions getting babies into position. She was not interested in grain. She ate a couple bites. No goo and udder is not full. One thing that is concerning me is her vulva is swollen. The...
:welcome Hi and Welcome from CA.
Goats are addicting. It is the time for kidding right now. Not sure about VA, here in CA everyone seems to be kidding already. Good time to find goats. What ever you choose, make sure they come from a clean tested herd. Also bring 2 home the same day when you...
Nillas udder is filling. I really hope Saturday is the day. Checked our forecast, it's calling for snow on Sunday. We had a talk this morning. Hope Nilla does not wait until it's snowing. :(
It does! The days feel like they're going slow. Trying to distract myself. So far distracting myself with other things to do is only helping a little bit.
Have the kidding bag set and ready.
Slight change in Nillas udder today. I seen a post on facebook yesterday. It said something along the lines of each month has 30-31 days in it, until you're due next week. Then there is 1567 days. This made me laugh. That is EXACTLY how we feel right now. Why does the last week of pregnancy seem...
If one side is giving milk and the other side is over filled. I would guess that the kid is favoring one side. Only nursing that side. I would milk her out 2 times a day to keep her udder even, also to help relieve pressure from the kid not nursing that side.
Did her udder fill normally before she gave birth?
The kid could be nursing one side more than the other. Or is there no milk what so ever in the one side?
I really hope she has twins, not a single. She could be hiding them. Hopefully. We shall see if she gets a round belly in this last month. I went over my notes for her breeding. She is due March 23rd at 145 days. Thankfully I seen her udder this morning, she got her cdt today. She is 4 weeks...
I am beyond anxious for Nilla to kid. These next few days can not go by fast enough. :lol:
While checking the does over this morning. I noticed my LM doe has an udder developing. I bred her for March kidding. She came back into heat 3 weeks later, I did not want April kidding. I decided to wait...
Good idea to wait a bit longer.
Nilla is due in 7 days! Yesterday I noticed her having B&H type contractions. Babies are moving around. Her udder is finally starting to get bigger. We will be giving her a shave tomorrow. It is pouring rain here today. We will start taking daily pictures of...
Kate, yes. Marie, no. Marie only because she is so big compared to my pregnant nigerians and they're going to fight for pecking order. Do not want anything to happen to the smaller pregnant does.
Marie will not join the does until the other does have kid.
When you do let yours in together...
