Oxytocin was given in hopes that she may kid on her own overnight. This wasn’t the case. C section this morning. I hate it but this isn’t her fault that someone else was careless

Today Gouda went into labor and started pushing at 8pm. By 9pm she had passed two fluid bubbles but there was no progression and no kid could be seen. I wasn’t home and my husband called the vet to come out. One buckling was born alive, and the other kid is stuck and can’t be maneuvered. C...

For all following : nothing. Ligaments continue to come and go. Her udder is full but not tight and shiny as I’ve heard they sometimes get. I have a mini Nubian doe that is due in two weeks with a very small udder, and then we have Gouda who seems to be full of milk but just will not drop those...

Today Gouda is losing her mucus plug, we have lessened kid movement, and her ligaments are softening.

No babies. Hoping soon!

No babies yet! December 22nd is when I started feeling movement and this weekend we are expecting substantial snow. Hoping for Snow babies!

Hi all, I brought Gouda and another doe up on the 1st to the kidding pen. Her udder is filling and I’ve been watching her like a hawk. This morning I noticed I can’t feel baby movement the way I have previous days. She has started with clear “drippy” mucus discharge. Not a lot, just notable to...

For all following: I have a kidding pen made for Gouda. The pen is In our garage that is attached to the house, so she will be much closer by than if left down with our others. The question is - when do I move her? I can easily feel kids moving within her for the past week. She turned 7 months...

Our kit is ready, and Gouda continues to expand. I haven’t seen any drastic udder development but I’m definitely on kid watch. This morning I was able to feel slight movement on her right side and in front of her Udder. So I imagine we are in our last few weeks. Her backside continues to swell...

Goudas blood test did come back positive, as we knew it would. She seems like she’s rapidly growing so I suspect we are within the last two months of her pregnancy. She had discharge on 11/8 and just out of pure precaution that “what if” she got pregnant prior to being three months old, I’m...

Hi all! Sorry for the late reply. We had a snow storm here and our vet had to reschedule but came today. Kids are not able to be felt within Gouda but that’s not to say she isn’t pregnant. The vet feels she was most likely bred as she spent the first 5 months of her life with a buck. Nov 9th we...

We did get ahold of a local farm vet, she will be coming out to do an exam and ultrasound if needed to confirm pregnancy and we will go from there.

No, that is one of our three month old mini nubian doelings. Our bucks have a different pen, never run with the does :). The male is a Nigerian dwarf.

I added some photos of her for anyone with more opinions

How old was your Doeling?

Hello! New here. One week ago we purchased a Nigerian dwarf doeling that was born in May, (making her almost six months old) and a Nigerian dwarf buck that is 1 year old. Previous owners did not have them separated, for whatever reason but they are separated now. Last evening I was examine our...
