Thank you for this infoWhile chances are like winning a lottery, it can happen. I would say this is not the case for your doe. I've watch hundreds of births in horses, donks, goats and only once seen this in almost 50 yrs. A mini mare, delivered a full term foal AND a tiny, mummified twin after....like fit in a teacup tiny! Vet was there and we were both amazed! As well as super interested in the rarety.
Yeah, you are on a wait and see!
Many vets are not receptive to goats and sheep. They generally are not high value monetarily, they present only when so bad off they are on death's door.....then they die even after valiant efforts!! It's frustrating, disappointing and heartbreaking. My vet once told me "the 4S of sheep is that...sick sheep seldom survive"...and I could apply that to goats most of the time. Just a hard fact.
At least she's not sick...it seems!
