I have found research on this but not very specific so I thought I could ACTUALLY get some good advice but I guess not. My vet charges considerably more for goats since he is not as experienced with them and there aren't many around. He has more dogs in so the money for a goat into the vet...

Alright I know you are trying to help but please understand what I said before you reply. I said I am new to the "breeding" part, not the puppy part. I have had pregnant dogs before and yes even pits, and I know where each of the pups are and they are all doing amazingly. I have never actually...

Hi all, my dog went into heat a few days ago, and she's reeeaaallly bloody. (Though i read this was normal). I've never bred a dog before but we did decide to find a stud for her. We plan on having one litter and then getting her fixed. The stud we found is an eight year old papered blue...

Okay... I thank you all for your advice through this, and I thank you very much for your condolences. It was very hard to lose my Addy <3

There wasn't anything in the sack, I was thinking about that too but it was just an empty bubble

I plan on getting them all into the vet very soon. When I buried Addy just now, I saw she had something sticking out of her area. It was like a bubble, but it wasn't the afterbirth. She still hadn't passed that from what I saw. I didn't mess with it because even though she was dead I couldn't...

I'm sure you all know how attached someone can get to a goat, and how hard it hits especially when you dedicate part of yourself to them and helping them be safe and comfortable. I got very attached to Addy when I was trying to make her friendlier, and was able to pet her every day. I love her...

Thank you all very much for trying to help me in helping her. I'm so very sorry there was nothing I could do, she is a great loss to me. I was very close to her :(:hit:hugs

She didn't make it...

No one was home when she started birthing the second kid so I have no idea how hard she was pushing, but she was definitely very exhausted. The kid wasn't positioned right, it's head was turned backwards and was harder to push out. It took some effort to get the kid out as easily as I could, I...

I'm not sure what I'm looking for, but it looks the same as all of the other goats. I tried pulling back her eyelid but I couldn't, there wasn't much to pull back. I saw her eye around the brown part though, and in that case it is a normal grey eye color

She is not able to move at all, or even hold her head up. I carried her inside the shelter onto some towels for comfort, and set some water beside her.

Yes I know, I've birthed a few live babies as well. These hooves though weren't hooves at all, entirely gel

Is there anything I can do for her here? I am staying with her right now

I don't have an on call vet, and I am home alone, no one is able to drive me with her to the vet. She hasn't passed afterbirth yet, and she hasn't eaten anything but I don't expect her to soon. She seems like she is in a lot of pain

She is currently resting in my lap, still unable to move much

Guys, I have some pretty bad news. As you know, Bonnie was pregnant, and I wasn't sure on my doe, Scout. I also stated how my doe Addy was being VERY lethargic and sickly. Bonnie: The good news here, Bonnie and her new baby Nonna are doing great. Perfect angels of health. Nonna is only one...

Oh good to hear I don't have to worry about that! : ) I haven't heard any news about the farm lately, but I was just thinking about that earlier! I hope they didn't forget : /

So, it's been almost two weeks since her birth. Her umbilical cord still hasn't fallen off. Should I be worried? It's all shriveled but is still intact
