FF Goat - Asking Questions

[Louannx]

She never pushed very long before contractions stopped earlier. She never beared down or screamed or nothing. It just completely stopped. She went and ate and then stood around for awhile and licked up clear looking stuff. I believe the bag broke on the kid in the canal. Then she dug around awhile. She definitely was not wore out.

It’s been over 3 hours or so.

Sounds like she needs oxytocin. Low calcium could also cause weak or no contractions but that sounds like vet territory.

That's so strange. Do you have any tums or nutridrench? That's a long time for bubbles and no kids. I believe the kid is fine if the bag breaks as long as the umbilical cord is intact. Not 100% sure though. I would call the vets and try and oxytocin. It's not very expensive and if they aren't going to help her they should at least be able to give you that.

I do not know if it is deceased. I just figured it was after this long. I have nutridrench. I have syrup. Will give her some.

I believe she’s full term.

Also, with cattle, if the calf stays in the canal for too long the head will swell making everything more complicated and I'd imagine the same applies to goats.

Maybe @Ridgetop could give some input on pulling without contractions if they come online?
