Doe with swollen lip... :/

[cmjust0]

ETA -- Just talked to the wife.. She checked on the goat and said you can barely tell the area was ever swollen.. Looked at the hole -- which was a discernable hole last night -- and said it's more or less closed up and dry looking. Doe's eating, drinking, wanting attention...generally being a goat.

All's well, except for the blood on her hiney. Who knows what to make of that... Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is never a good diagnostic sign, but then again, I'm not sure it's altogether that uncommon in almost any mammal.

We shall see, I suppose.. If she did abort, my only hope is that she got it all out.

Just an update...the doe's healing up well, and everything looks fine. Think we may have figured out what happened, though -- new teeth!

She's putting up her 2nd pair of adult teeth, which sorta move the baby teeth around and make things go a little wonky.. My wife noticed that the site of the injury was pretty much exactly where the new adult tooth came in on her left side, so we figure she may have just bitten her lip with a new tooth.

Go figure.

Wow, that is weird. At least she is doing fine now.
