Thank you Southern by choice. Time will heal us both. Death is so hard and even harder when you can't explain to them what happened. Appreciate the concern.
Thank you dr doolittle. She and I are coping with our loss, think I am doing better. She will see me coming down to the barn and starts crying. I offer her treats and sometimes she will take something but most of the time won't take anything. She is eating and drinking well so am not worried...
It had been over an hour of her pushing and the bag broken. Baby had been lifeless for over 30 minutes. I was more worried about saving the mother at that time. May sound crude but babies can be replaced but not the doe you have become attached to. Thankfully I won't have to worry about her...
That is what I was thinking of doing. Just a metal bucket I use for water or food. THANKS. Going down there to check on her and add the molasses to her water. Appreciate this. Deb

Thanks. I just wasn't sure if she might be in early labor or just getting ready. Maybe she is nervous since she is so young. (10 months) My ND doe that had Oreo was about the same age as this one. Guess I will be spending some time in the barn today. I have her shut up in there just in case...
My daughter bought me a little pygmy goat for Mothers day and I already had three goats (2 adult females and 1 little buck born in March)
Guess either my little buck got to "Willow" or she was bred before she got here. Looks as if she swallowed a water melon sideways. I did some figuring and...
Not sure why you haven't had anyone answer you yet. I have a pygmy goat that I got on Mothers day this year for a preset and had a little buckling born in March. Before we thought to get him fixed he must have gotten her since a few weeks ago we noticed that she was getting fatter. This week...
