Ah , Niya yes she is still around and her false labor was possibly attributed ( or so I was told ) to a selenium deficiency so just in case I got her fixed up and haven't seen anything else in her. The breeder that bought my buck said both does were bred but who knows. She is not growing but...
I must say I have delivered many different animals in my time in wildlife rescue but goats take the cake bar none! I have an overwhelming amount of respect for you guys. I can't say it enough THANK YOU ALL! This forum is amazing and just being able to vent , talk and share stories has been...
I called the vet this morning and he gave me LA 200 and said it is a long acting antibiotic and better than penicillin but to call if I have any issues. I feel so bad for her. She is a sore mommy. I need to go get more penicillin and keep it for ERs that's for sure.
Thanks! I am glad to know he wasn't going to drown. So much for this "goat expert" who told me otherwise. I was hoping for a nice easy delivery and you were I'm sure and WOW what a delivery for you! Our babies had other plans lol I was scared I was going to break his little leg. Goats are...
I feel so bad for Aubrey. Her hoo-ha is so swollen this morning. The baby coming out was not any easy task especially with the boths hooves back and having to pull one up. The head itself was too big so I can only imagine how to head and foot must have felt. UHH! Poor Aubrey :( I was thinking...
I was told we havr 20-30 minutes after pushing or water breaking to get him out or he would drown. That lit a flame under me but good to know!! Thank you and thanks to everyone on this forum for their advise and help through everything. It was hard but well worth it. Thanks again!!! Now it's...
OMG! that was a nightmare! She was not fully dilated and her water broke and I was down to mere minutes to get him out before he drowned. Her cervix was so small and he was much bigger. Not to mention his feet were curled back I managed to get one foot by a miracle. She was sooooo tight in...
This is what is coming out. Sorry it's sideways I can't adjust is with my cell phone. My cell flash makes it look whiter than it is. Oh and it's raining woohoo lol
Sorry for the excessive posts but I need advise. When I am in the pen Aubrey calms down and eats hay. I feel like I am slowing her down so I leave then pen and she comes to the fence and bleats. I don't want to stop her progression but what do I do stay with her or leave? She rams the fence when...
I actually put her on a leash a bit ago to see if she wanted some fresh grass. She came out for a second but walked back in her pen.she never lets me just rub on her back but she stood and let me, she even acted like she enjoyed it. No goo yet but she is definitely talking a lot. As I type she...
Ok so last night Aubrey refused her grain. She continued to eat hay in her pen and I seen a string of whitish clear mucus. I waited until midnight to see if she was going to show any other signs and she didn't. This morning she is vocal ( could be because of my other does grazing) she has small...
