Possible Accidental Breeding to 6 month old ND

[1littlefarmer]

Hi,

I have a ND buck on loan that accidentally got in with my 6 month old Nigerian Dwarf doe. They were together less than 3 minutes but I know she's in heat. So many questions...

What are the chances she's pregnant?
How dangerous is it if she is?
Is there anything I can do at this point to reduce the chances that she is pregnant?


I feel kind of like an idiot right now as I've had the buck for a month and managed to keep them separated the whole time and the buck goes home tomorrow...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You can wait 3 weeks and give her a combo of Lutalyse and Dex which would make her abort if she's bred. You wait 3 wks to be sure she's far enough along that the drugs will work. Both have to be obtained through a vet, who can also advise you on when / how to administer.

I don't raise Nigis, but I wouldn't want to risk a pregnancy in a miniature at that age.

I would definitely get the Lutalyse and abort it. 6 months is definitely too young for a Nigi.

My vet actually recommends a shot of Lutalyse 3 weeks post breeding and another 3 weeks after that as a sort of extra safety measure.

Ok. Thanks, all. I'll check in with my vet this next week.

I'm sure he/she will have his way of handling it. My vet has me do one shot 2 days in a row. But I do use Estrumate since that is what I have on hand so it may make a difference. You can use either Lutalyse or Estrumate. I believe Lutalyse is the cheaper one.
