This morning, as I was rushing around feeding, I noticed Levi standing outside the stall, not joining the feeding frenzy...but didn't really think much of it, as she's a younger (2) doe and not very dominant / pushy at feeding time...thought she was just waiting her turn.
Came home tonight to several puddles of blood, blood-soaked tail, and blood smears on her 'buddy' goats that she usually hangs out with.
She still had 5-6 wks left to go, and she seems fine now, was eating dinner, etc....but it's just SUCH a bummer b/c as much as I love all my goats, there are SOME preggos who's kids I really look forward to seeing and she was one of them. She's also a really sweet red boer doe I was planning on keeping a kid out of.
I'm not looking for advice or diagnosis, I'm just wanting to share my...sadness...? Disappointment...? With folks who'd understand.
Poor wee kids....I hate lost babies!
AND....as much as I hate to bring money into it, she was bred to a really NICE buck I sold, so I can't repeat the breeding....and I've finished breeding for the year.
I guess I could re breed her next month (providing she is doing well) and kid her in April but....I wanted to be done in March.
Just a crappy situation on many levels. Thanks for listening...

That sucks... A few years ago our Lab had a litter and by accident crushed one of her 2 female pups to death. It was really awful for us, because it was a litter of 10, 2 girls, the rest boys ALL blacks.
