Awesome, thank you! I will take her temp and weigh her later :) thank you!!!!!

Well, I got a baby girl when she was 4 months old, about 4 months ago. I did notice she was getting fatter, but I have no males and did not think anyone would be irresponsible enough to let a baby mate, but the mom came through, labor was perfect, the placenta took forever to come out and as a...

Mail isn't very reliable (if I get Christmas cards they come in March) but I might be able to order it registered, it would depend on the price of shipping. I have a microscope that I use in my office, I might do some research and learn to do it myself eventually. I will call the vet and see...

Is there a link to show me how to "bump" please? I thought you could only do that after she kidded one to check for other kids?

Omg, looking at those pix she's so cute hehe, I know, I'm biased but she's adorable. She likes to "cuddle" with me. She will put her face near mine when I'm out there and she leans against us. She loves getting pet. Which is strange cuz she was a from a guy who had so many goats they couldn't...

I am not in the US, but I can look into it here... Here are the pix!

The wall is definitely warm! Feeding: feed, corn kernels, sunflower seeds in the morning, husband goes to the fenced empty lot across the street and cuts down the tall grass there once a day. Alfalfa and one cup of oatmeal for the pregnant one and the lactating one but our little one doesn't get...

I have wanted goats since I was a teenager, and at first I was loving it. It did relax me and I enjoyed watching them. And then the baby died and now I am driving myself nuts. I am sure I will calm down, but until I do, I will be checking their temperatures all the time, lol. Thank you so much...

She has udder that appears to have milk but the other has been flaccid, no changes there since we acquired her though. I will get those pix tomorrow. I believe she has had kids before because she had milk in the one udder when we first got her. She is totally driving me crazy though! lol...

Haha, ok. I checked her temp and it was 102.2, so normal. We cleaned their enclosure again today and she slept in there tonight. Maybe we are going to clean the corral nightly? We were doing it twice a week... We shall see... I'm hoping the hypervigilance with their health calms down pronto!

I have a little 4-5 month old doe. She is normally very timid normally. I have been trying to bond a bit more with her but she still won't let me touch her. I have had her for about 3 weeks now. My goats were all free-eating chicken feed until last week when we lost a little doeling. We believe...

I have an adult doe that was sold to me pregnant. They told me she was due in December. The original came back about three weeks ago to visit her and told me that she looks like she is going to kid any day now (three weeks ago). I am having my doubts that she is actually pregnant because I have...

She passed away about an hour ago. The vet finally came minutes before she passed. When he looked her over he said that she was bitten on her leg by something. We are putting chicken fence around the goat corral to make sure the other little one doesn't get out and will be chhanging how we feed...

Can I do anything to help her rumen go again or is it too late?

I hear nothing in her left side

This is her... The vet called and said he was coming soon but I'm sure it's too late now. I'm glad the kids are at school. I'm just so upset. Poor baby girl...

Shes having seizures now. In humans that's a sign that death is probably imminent due to higher urea in the blood. Is that a things with goats too? I am so sad. I feel like this was something so basic that I should have known.

In humans, I would hear odd lung sounds with pneumonia, which I don't on her. Anything is possible. No temperature changes.

I gave her baking soda and carbonated probiotic drink. I forced her to stand for a few seconds but she can't on her own. Her left side does sound distended. She bleated a little. The husband is going to milk the mom, do you think we should give her some of moms milk?

Well really f*ed that up... I have started an IV and called the vet (since last night). I am giving subq lactated ringer. Her breath sounds are clear but I do note a small amount of mucus from her nose. She is breathing mugs hollowed then normal. I sent my husband for pediatric oral iron and...
