Millie kidded today!
One
Big
Doeling
She labored all morning and finally had her kid at around 3pm today. Then stopped.
Stopped pushing, no placenta.
Okayyyyyyy…
Why is she still huge? Why was she having these issues with a SINGLE? Why was she so large this pregnancy? She HAS to have another kid in there!
Waiting.
Waiting…
Give some Nutridrench.
Wait some more.
Now it's 4pm.
Millie is up down a few times and doesn't seem "done"
Still nothing at 4:30.
Glove & lube up, go up to about 3/4 of the way to my elbow.
Nothing. Hmmmm.
Milk her to get contractions going.
Nothing.
Bounce her, she feels "heavy" but no definite kid.
Still nothing.
Call vet & tell them what's going on.
Vet is shocked that there's only 1 kid.
Gives the option of giving oxy or bring the doe in.
No way she has ONE kid, and she hasn't passed the placenta. Vet agrees (same vet that just saw this doe two weeks ago)
Haul her to the vet.
Vet does internal check, nothing.
She goes Hmmm
Bounces her, nothing.
Hmmm again.
Well it looks like she only has a single
I'm glad I didn't miss anything when I did the internal check, and I'm glad no kids were stuck, but we are all just shocked that she had ONE kid!!
Crazy goats. Everyone is just shocked!
I guess Millie is "well fed".
Pics to come.

She's doing great. Vet sent home more test strips today for her. I drenched her 2x daily for the last 2 weeks and she seems great.
Biggest threat now is hypocalcemia. I'll keep her on the CMPK for a little bit. She's a milk cow!

Too cute
I guess there's no such thing as too cute though.
