I have a paint boer nanny that looks like she is in labor. She has something brownish and meaty looking coming out of her vagina. She has a little milk but not much. I am not sure if she trying to abort them or have them. Someone help!

When was she bred? If it's about 5 months she could be in labor. How long has she been like this? If she doesn't have it soon she could be having trouble. Is she a first timer?

She should be due in a few weeks. But I found a 45 day old fetus in the stall with her. So I am not sure if she just miscarried that one and she is going to have fully developed babies. Or if that is even possible. And no this is her second time.

Oh you found the fetus just recently? I am confused, you say it was 45 days old. So she lost it a while ago? And she has something protruding now?

No, it was a 45 day fetal development stage. She aborted it last night but it looks like she is still pregnant. What I am asking is if that fetus could have stopped developing so she aborted it, could she have fully developed babies in a few weeks?

They can abort from one side of their uterus, since they have two uterine horns, and still carry on the other side, but it isn't that common. More than likely she will completely abort.
