Why are t hey thinking 2 kids, do they feel 2 heads?

Couple of reasons.
1 being the "jammed up" type of lineup.
2 being that they had a "whoosh" of fluids / goo run past the first kid.

I have had 10 goat kids and were very lucky no problems, however this year we had 2 new babies killed by our watch burro, very sad, so I can relate to the worry that you are going through with cali.

I'll be thinking about you and keeping an eye on the internet.

I'm thinking one BIG kid, small uterus. Malpresentation. Doe swelling terribly at t his point, probably going into shock. Fluids can follow kids, not neccesarily a sign of a kid to follow.

True...time will tell.

They are attempting to find a vet willing to assist.

I usually milk goats at 11pm I can't leave this yet.

Seems there is just a short window in order to get the kids out before things go down hill, poor Cali, but I am not giving up hope. She will come through !

Glad to see this... I know they have a hard time around them...hopefully someone will be willing to come out QUICKLY.

I hope they find a vet, in a rural area at this time of nite it isn't good. Hang in there Cali.

They found a vet but they have to take Cali to that vet...

Keep your thoughts and prayers with this goat family tonight. I've hung up the phone with them and hope that the morning brings good news and that Cali is all right.


This just sent to me via facebook:

Thank you Emily. Chris (Jaqui's Dad) has found a vet an hour away in Plymouth that, has never dealt with goats, but said that if we can get her to him he will help. Load us up with prayers for a safe drive and for Cali's safety through this.

I wish that I could have done more for them.
