Yesterday at approx. 11 am, DH called me at work & said that "Momma Mae Belle" had a white discharge. Then, at 1:30 pm, he went out to check on her & the discharge was much more amber colored. When I got home, we moved her up to the garage into a 6'X8' chain link dog kennel. She has had contractions and still this amber discharge ALL night. The discharge, IMO, looks almost red. It's now 5 am on Friday and still no baby. Any ideas or suggestions? Normal?

I've tried several times to download a pic, it won't let me. IMO, it looks quite bloody, is only approx. 3 in. long, and is pretty much non-stop.
She has actively pushed, contractions all night and still this morning. I had to pick her up to move her to the garage, would that have hurt her/baby in any way? Thanks

My husband said that the first discharge he saw yesterday was like caulk and longer. I showed him pics from the website of "ropes" and he said that was what it looked like.

If she has been contracting all day and night have you gone in to check? The kid may be in the wrong position and it is preventing delivery. Has your doe been pushing at all? How is your does condition this morning? is she exhausted is she eating? is she up and down? normal? stressed?

She seems to be in good condition. She gets up, does munch a little on hay, does not seemed stressed. I have not gone in. I thought you were only supposed to do that if they presented in the wrong position......head-no feet, or head-one foot, etc.

If the head and neck is bent down or backwards and legs are back they have are very hard time passing the kid, also breech meaning butt first legs all pointing to the does head. Both of these scenarios will not allow you to see a foot or face,
It is tricky to know when to go in.
If the doe has been pushing and pushing and hollering than I would go in, if things are calm she may just be a slow birther.

Just saw your new post... I'll go check my mail.

She is actively pushing... ok not to be a pain but can you get a video of her vulva? I'd like to see what that looks like and how dialated she is.
Refresh my memory is she a FF?
