My 1st Kidding Thread-Yabba A Nigerian Dwarf- QUAD PICTURES PG 9

[pridegoethb4thefall]

Gonna go run out and do a check on Yabba....

I just realised, my hubby is going to be outta town working on days 150 and 151! Oh Geez I hope she kids BEFORE he goes out of town! Buuuut, what with Yabba knowing the 'Doe Code' so very well, I feel fairly confident she will kid the first night he's gone!

Im sure Ill manage, but I might keep my oldest girl home from school one day IF Yabba waits that long to kid.

BRB.........










Aaaaaand.............. nothing. Not even goo. I know she's getting close though. She's just waiting for me to drop my guard. But she will learn like my human children have learned- Mommy is far more stubborn than they are and I WILL win in the end! (I hope )


So, how about we play the "Name The Kids Game'?

Yabba's full Name is actually 'Yabba Dabba', so Im thinking of staying along the whole Flintstones theme. Any suggestions for boys and girls?

Bamm Bamm, Pebbles, Fred, Wilma, Barney, Betty, Rubble, Bedrock, Dino, The Great Gazoo, Hoppy, Pearl, Slate, Arnold, Chip, Doozey, Edna, Zeke.

Yep I googled the Flinstones to figure out all the characters!

Thanks Marlowmanner! We forgot about the great gazoo!! Probably going to name a boy that if we get a buckling (hope we dont get any boys, but if we do...) I think we like Betty and there is a tie for Wilma and pebbles for a second doeling (if we get two girls, hopefully).


Yabba looks great, she has more white goo this afternoon, but Im not seeing anything else going on, so Im not thinking it will be tonight. I will be checking on her still though- you know how these tricky does can be!

 

[marlowmanor]

I actually had fun looking up all the characters that were on the show. Chip is actually Bamm Bamm and Pebbles son! I couldn't help but remember watching some of the Flinstone movies as well.

I am getting concerned about Yabba. I noticed some of her discharge looked yellowish (not white), and this morning it looked the smallest bit on the green side. Being a mom myself, I know that in general, discharge of any kind that is yellow or green signals infection (not allergies). But most of the discharge is drying to a amber color (but not gooing out or anything, which makes me wonder if she doesnt have a small aminiotic leak?)

I also noticed Yabba was having dog log poops, like all squished together berries in a log form. Which I first thought was due to impending labor and delivery, until I noticed all the other goats having the same problem!! Even the 2 month old babies!

Im not sure about the cause, Im wondering if its from too much grain- I have been giving them all grain, but maybe a tad too much?

Called my ruminate vet and she had me put Yabba on pennicillan and pro bios, but now Im wondering if the herd all need pro bios, and possibly a round of Corrid?

I hate to medicate for something that isnt present, or not treat ASAP for something and have it get out of control. At least my vet is coming out tomorrow afternoon, she can do a quick check on everyone.


worried,worried, worried...

Have yall had a warm spell where the grass grew quite a bit? My girls all got a little tummy upset when that happened. It made them have greener, clumpy poop (which may be tinting her discharge?). I gave them all some probios but watched closely to make sure that was indeed what it was. It went away in 2 days with just probios. I would be more nervous with babies and runny poop but I tend to give my older does a little time before I get too worried about clumpy poop. My doe did get some clumpy poop at first when we added the alfalfa pellets, also. But, trust your gut first. If you feel like it is something more, I would call a vet. You know your animals the best!

Here it is, day 149... Thought Id post some new pics- just took them this morning.

Funny, looking back at the pics on page 1, I thought her udder was big then, now I can see a real difference! What do ya'll think of her udders? This is her 3rd freshening.

Some top views..

Some new udder pics- what do you think? Good udders? Gone Boom yet?

Aaaaaaand Yabba is outta here- DONE with all this silly picture taking business!

Doesnt she look big?! Its raing pretty hard here, and should get worse tonight, and my hubby leaves town tomorrow, so I figure she'll kid tonight at 3 AM, or tomorrow night at 3AM... What do you think?

Guesses on how many?- she's had twins and trips before

Thank you for the pictures. I think trips. So beautiful. If she does have them tonight, I hope it all goes well. I think it's going to be two boys, and one girl. Can't wait to see.

I think she will kid in about 3 or 4 hours. She definitely has BOOM. I am betting no later than 5 pm. And twins for sure. Better put her in the kidding stall and have your kidding kit and camera ready! Lots of towels. A cup of cocoa, and a bulb syringe.

She looks GREAT! What a pretty girl.
