Ok thanks. She seems a little more hollowed out today, still had some mucus and has been sitting down alot moreThe bump is ok. Don’t feel weird about posting pictures that concern you. We do it too. Animal husbandry gets down to the nitty gritty, these things have to be discussed and pictures taken. How else are we to learn?
Like @Mini Horses said, count 150 days from each date, she can lamb a week or two early or late.
ThanksThey tend to hollow out as the lambs change position inside and her body's muscles and ligs and all get positioned to help with the birthing process.
August 8th would be the first "Due Date" if bred on the 14th of March... they can go 1-2 weeks early to 1-2 weeks late ON AVERAGE... and if she didn't actually settle until March 21st date... and give her a couple extra weeks if late... then her lambing due date should be from say.... Aug 5th through Aug 30th.
Her body is getting ready and you should have lambs soon. Not like you have a date with the dr for a planned c-section or anything...
I think it's normal mine do it too and then it goes away after they lamb. She looks like she will lamb pretty soon. (Or could also be in a few weeksSorry i know its weird to be looking at the girlies parts of a ewe but over night cad has developed sort of a bump just above her vulva, sohould i be worried.View attachment 92919View attachment 92920
