Pregnant or problem?

[taylorm17]

I was like when I saw that first pic! She does look pregnant and 3 or 4. Just thought this- although this probably won't happen, but if she had a single- the baby would as big as her! Hope all goes well for the both of them.

I have been anal about feeling her every day for kicks or hooves or little overly crammed face's and every day I 'think' I feel something but can never tell.
Well today I certainly felt a kick! Either her liver is having spasms or there is a baby in there! The only problem is shes not eating or drinking anything and with the ice storm we are having my vet wont be out until tomorrow.
Any suggestions on how I can get her to eat? Any treats I can try?

Those little golden clip tags are identification number tags when in a large herd. I work at a huge sheep milking farm and many of the ewes have those as their ID tags. She definitely looks preggo to me. Good luck!

Try raisins. My goats love them. For drink try putting a tad bit of koolaid in her water to flavor it. See if she will try that.

Hmm, never seen an ID tag like that before. Interesting!

Is she eating any hay? You may want to add some molasses to her water, try to keep it warm. (yeah warm in Massachusetts, I know ) You could try putting some on her feed too. Have you tried different hays? I would give her some Nuri-Drench and probiotics.

Just thought of something, do you think she is close to kidding? I know some goats (& sheep) will go off feed/hay before kidding. Ours never have, but maybe she is?

Shes still really freaked out :/ we got her to drink and eat a tiny bit when we first got her home but she has not touched anything since.
Good to know about the clip, maybe when she said action it was an on farm one because she kept saying "I got her at this farm." and "the auction only lasted four hours."
So
I'll try the koolaid and raisins. Worst case i'll see about force feeding her. Ugh...I just want her to eat and drink!!

Nothing. Not even the hay. She keeps pawing at the bedding and making nests, but shes got no mucus and her ligs are soft but not gone. I have no clue when shes due either.
She currently has molasses feed, a corn and soy mix, free choice hay and free choice mineral available.
All she wants to do is lay there and then get up and run when I go into the pen.
I'll pop her with a nuri-drench and probiotics in hopes that it helps her apatite.
Any other thoughts?

Give her a B vit shot. That will stimulate her appetite.

She is either pregnant or she has really bad gas.

I will have to wait for the vet for that. Any other thoughts?
Would gass cause the kicking I felt? (Serious question)

Alright so she was give Nutridrench this morning, milk of magnesia this afternoon, and then I created a mixture of Gatorade, apples, probiotics, carrots, strawberrys, and a banana. I mixed it into a slurry and had to force feed it to her. I used the drencher to give it to her. She was NOT happy with me.
She has also started grinding her teeth since yesterday, i thought it would go away, but I guess now...great...
Oh, and shes older, no clue how old but she has every single tooth in which means shes over 4 right?
