Oreo...2 weeks of watching and waiting and still no kids!!!

[Bonner family farm]

Oreo Update......... We think tonight is the night, she has been crying on and off and pushing had white bubbly goo coming out and she doesnt want us to leave her. She is also letting me touch her in places she never had before, I was rubbing her under between her udder and hoo hoo and she went into a transe. I have a feeling it's going to be a long night and we have to leave for the hospital in the morn because my stepdaughter is being induced to have our grandson. Hopefully she will kid tonight and not in the morn after we leave

praying both babies will be born safe and sound in good health.

If she's still like this in the morning before you have to leave, I'd call someone to come take her to the vet....That is if she's pushing and not getting anywere....or at least have someone sit w/ her.

GOOD LUCK with both human and goat kids!

My 2 teenage sons will be here all day monitoring her while we are gone. if i feel she is in distress i will call the vet. So far tonight she is doing ok.

Well she woke me up at 3am crying, ran out to the barn and all she wanted was my attention. This morning she is eating and acting normally, no signs of labor this morning. Starting to think she is a drama queen or just really needy at the moment. Checked the babies and man that kid was kicking my hand lilke crazy and we could stand and watch the baby moving inside her. I think she is waiting for me to leave before she kids, last year she waited till I went to work and my kids were here when she kidded. I am headed to the hospital to greet my grandson with cell phone in hand and am praying she waits for me to get back, if not my sons are here and I know they will do a good job of helping her out if she needs it. Keep you all posted

Quick update, no goat babies yet. oreo seems to be waiting for the right time. Mom and babies seem to be fine. No signs of distress and babies are moving although less today the other days so maybe she is getting closer. As for the human baby, Caleb James was born at 12:36am this morning by C-section, mom and baby are doing great. Keeping a close eye on the barn and hopefully tomorrow we will have some good news, if not I may call the vet out if she seems to be in trouble. tonight would be a good night Oreo, come on babies

Okay I think today is the day, oreo is yawning and curling her top lip. She's laying and doesn't want to get up when she does she paces and lays back down. She never lays when we are in her pen, usually she is all over you looking for attention. is the yawning a normal sign??

Two questions:

1) If you offer her grain, will she eat it as greedily as ever?
2) How does her breath smell?
