Every morning I go out to milk the goats I expect to see little ones with Ol'Thelma. Her udder is so big it is sticking out the back. I can't imagine how much longer........

Got the latest pics for you all.
Poor old girl. I hope this pregnancy doesn't take too much out of her. Getting up and down is getting harder by the day for her.

This is her stance today. That is if she isn't laying down. Up, down, up, down......

Just keep an eye out for pregnancy toxemia in this heat. I had a friend who lost a Boer doe earlier this week to toxemia/heat that was due to kid in less than a week.

From the way she is standing and her belly hanging, I would consider giving her some sub-Q calcium. She looks really worn out. And drenching her with some propalyn glycol(spelling?), if she is fairly cooperative. Looks like she could use an energy boost.

Ol'Thelma is hanging in there. It is pleasant today weather wise. I have been putting molasses in her water. I increased her grain a little and been giving her snacks. I am very concerned about her age and her metabolism. I am keeping a close eye on her, trust me. Everyday I think "It has to be today" and it isn't. She is content at the moment. Laying around chewing her cud. Her udder is FULL, her backside very puffy and her ligs are squishy.

"She can't take it much more, Captain." :/
