Pregnant or problem?

[BlueMoonFarms]

I am a sucker...It is written across my forehead...
Same friend who brought me Cooper: http://www.backyardherds.com/threads/baby-buckling.28102/
Has brought me a poor pregnant goat that she rescued from a farm.
I said as long as shes healthy i'll take her.
She looked fine at first...
Mastitis, an ear infection, bad hooves, mites....and now I just need to make sure shes actually pregnant and does not have a serious problem going on with her ruminant.
I thought I felt a hoof and her ligs are soft so i am pretty sure she is. Just making sure though!!
Vets coming on Thursday...again...
So! Is she preggy? How many do you think? and when do you think shes due?

After this no more sympathy goats!! My poor wallet cant stand it...

I don't know anything about goats, but I'd say pregnant, and that she's lucky that you have her!

I sure hope so, I have no idea when shes supposed to be due so now i'm just guessing. Im super worried about her which is why I am trying to decipher if shes pregnant or has another issue. I'll know for sure on thursday, but the sooner the better!
Anyone else want to weigh in?

My first thought was I sure hope she's pregnant with a belly like that. I would guess up to quads unless there are other issues adding to the size. Just keep checking the ligaments, they're the best way to tell
She's really cute btw! Good for you for taking on yet another challenge!

She does look preggers! I'm guessing 3-4 kids!

When she kids you may have to bottle feed the kids, so make sure you have colostrum and milk on hand! What is in her ear? I know the one tag is a scrapie tag, but what is that other thing?

Sorry about all the problems! You will get her and Cooper up to health soon!

God I hope so. Im so paranoid that shes just got yet another problem since her sides feel more like her ruminant. Its squishy instead of full of baby. But thankfully shes got a low belly so im keeping my paranoia away with that.
This is my last challenge! Besides her issues shes a wild child who im questioning has ever been handled. So now I need to win over her trust on top of everything.
Shes pawing up everything today though....She may be pulling an Anne (the goat who faked labor for two months) I just hope she waits for the vet to at least give her some medication for her mastitis and ear infection.

I hope so!!
i was planning on bottle feeding the babys anyway only because I dont know what her background or health is. I already have milk and colostrum ready to go!
You know I dont know?
I cut it off her ear the other night and its a copper coated clip like thing just like the scrapies tag. maybe its for identification of something?
I'll call my friend who found her and ask her if she knows what it is, or was told what it was when she got her.
She kinda had to drop and run because her kids were getting ornery.
I'll let you know what she says
Boy do I hope so!! I hope I can get these two up and better quickly. Fingers are crossed!

She got her from a flipping auction...fantastic...Thats what the copper ring in her ear was from...
That explains why she has so many issues, and now I am really really hoping shes pregnant and that I wasn't just handed a goat with some sort of collapsed abdomen or something.
Watch her be like 10 years old to...Ugh...

Don't have goats...but either she is very preggo or she swallowed two watermelons...best guess is preggo with lots of babies in there! Hope all goes well!!!
