EggsforIHOP's kidding thread ...THE LAST BABY OF THE SEASON IS HERE!!!

[EggsForIHOP]

Tonight I'm kinda worried....

JUST her right ligament is back as of this morning...apparently she knows how to make things reappear...HATE when they do that! So I'm guessing she's still a bit off from actually kidding...BUT...

She pretty much just LAYS in the same spot all day and it seemed all night EXCEPT when I come to feed, then she of course hops up to see what I have...

So, she's still eating...

BUT she is just more lethargic than I would like...I'm debating giving her some molasses/corn syrup to perk her up....could this is any way HURT the situation? I did give her a little nutridrench this morning, maybe an ounce or so, and she seemed to be perkier after that for a bit...

Need a vote...she's just more "off" than I would expect...what would ya'll do?

Molasses won't hurt a thing.

I'd probably give her a B shot now and a shot of that nasty old calcium drench when she's actually in active labor.

Whenever you have a lethargic animal, always check their temp. Usually when they have a temp, they become lazy and mope around. (Like with humans...when you're not feeling well you just want to lay around.)

Maybe some baking soda? Poor girl. I think their tummies get upset when they're preggie.

 

[EggsForIHOP]

Nope, no temp...goin out with a B shot (she's gonna HATE me by the time she actually kids!) and a little warm molasses water...just cause I love her and I know she likes that...

I BET she's just BLEH preggo and ready to be done...but I worry SO SO MUCH! Can you tell who my favorite goat is?

Thanks everybody! I'm heading out to spend some quality goat time and love on her some...

Just needed a little vitamin B, and of course a handful of her favorite yummy treat - RAISINS! - and Lucy has perked up CONSIDERABLY! She's munching hay and trying to be anywhere but laying still! AND her ligaments are TOTALLY gone again! She still hasn't "dropped" much yet though...so lord only knows how long she intends to drag this out on me!

But she is feeling much better it seems and greatly perked up as of just now

Gggggooooooo Lucy!!!!!

 

[EggsForIHOP]

SHE DID IT!!!!!! TWIN BOYS AT 9AM!!!!!

6lbs 9oz and 6lbs12oz....no wonder she's so thin! She didn't have room to EAT! She ate like a PIG post birth, never seen her so happy to eat - she finally had ROOM to put it away!

Mama is resting now...still waiting for placenta to pass, went ahead and gave her calcium drench and wormed her already...knock all that out...got a little colostrum and heat treated like a good dairy good person

And now...drum roll please...PICS!!!!

UP NEXT: Pomegranate!!!!

I think without looking at records we have a month left on her.....I forget more than I remember...but I do remember she's bred to our Nigerian Dwarf for "mini" babies...so I'm excited to see what we get out of her!
