My doe kindled 6 days ago. The is her first littter and she is doing great! Yesterday she started drinking a lot of water and laying down and panting heavily. Do you think she could just be warm or does this sound like something I should be concerned about? I checked her to see if she showed any signs of an infected nipple or anything like that but she looks fine.

That's what I was thinking I should do too. I just didn't want to hurt her. She's quite a shy gal to begin with. Thanks

Thanks she seems to be doing better. I don't know if she was stressed for the day and a half or what. She has stopped panting so much and is up and about like normal. She had me so worried there for a while. I lost sleep and everything. I did palpitate and check for stuck kits just to be on the safe side. I didn't feel anything so I'd say she's fine. This new motherhood is crazy sometimes! :p
