March Kidding--Anyone due and want to wait with me??

[SillyChicken]

Our girl star is due March 30th... but it felt like her ligs were gone yesterday, I could get my fingers around her tail, her udder is firming up a little more, and shes getting puffier, and holding her tail up, but not arched......... also she's been super friendly. I think she will deliver sooner than we think. There's hardly any activity with the kids. I've been grooming her at night when I do chores so she's used to me being in with her. She's loving that part cause she's been shedding her winter coat and her stretched out sides are itchy too. Keeping fingers crossed for healthy (doe) twins!

Momma didn't make it though the night. Unfortunately when the vet came out, they found that she had torn her uterus.

The Little buck is doing wonderfully. He thinks I am his momma. Unfortunately he is a buck I may not be able to part with as everyone's favorite goat was Tippy and now she is gone.

Oh Missy, I am so sorry. Seems like you have had a rough start this year

 

[SillyChicken]

I'm sorry.......

That little buckling is adorable, glad to hear he is doing well.

I have a question????? this is day 149 for my doe and no sighs at all of going into labor, I could be off a day or so based on the fact that the buck got her servel times in a week. She looks to have lost weight and her gums are a bit pale, looks like she may have worms. can I worm her now and if so with what? all I have here is some safeguard for horses and some purple stinkier stuff the vet gave me the last time I wormed them all and he gave me some white thick stuff to worm with when I first got them 2 years ago. the names are rubbed off so I don't know what it is.

Missy, I'm so sorry about Tippy. All of us online had come to love that doe as well - she'll be missed. I hope your kidding season begins to look up. I've loved all the pics you've posted, and I think you've been a real trooper with all the bumps in the road.

BTW, the picture of that beagle puppy is absolutely adorable!

Thank you all. My kidding season is over. Ginger, who I believe cycles all year long kidded at the beginning of the month. She usually has wonderful little kids, but with the cold snap, it was just a bad time. If she gave birth on March 3rd, any guess at when she will cycle again?


EDIT:

Let me rephrase that, I am ASSUMING that she cycles all year due to the fact she had kids in September a couple years ago. lol
