pygmy goat sleeping standing up, is this normal?

[abnai]

Lately my 6 weeks old doeling has been standing still & eventually fall asleep like that. I don't know what's wrong with her because she's still active & eats. No fever or scouring. She does sneeze sometimes & is it normal for her stomach to make noises? She has a runny nose in the morning. And sometimes when she's sleeping she makes this whistling noise. Has anybody else have this problem before?

And this is her sleeping standing up :/

Sleeping standing up is normal. The stomach should make noises, if it doesn't there is something wrong. The whistling and runny nose are from her head being stuffed up. It may be dust or it may be a respiratory infection of some kind.

Could it be because of weather changing too? And sometimes she sounds like she going to throw up but doesn't. My 6 weeks old buck did that just a bit ago & swallowed his puke down again :/

Sounds like chewing cud to me.
They regurgitate the roughage in their stomach and chew it again.
What kind of hay are you feeding them.
She's very pretty. You sure she's a pygmy? Looks more like a Nigerian to me.

Looks Nigerian to me as well. She is very cute. I had a doe that whistle a bit when she slept, only happened for a couple of days. Never figured out what it was.

Ah yes! I'm sorry, the buck is the one that's nigerian & I think half mixed with pygmy. The doe is the full nigerian one. I just got them 2 weeks ago! New goat mommy so I'm still learning of how to take care of them. Here's the boy. He's a beauty!

He is a beauty! and I can definitely see the Pygmy in him. Is he a wether(fixed)? If not you'll want to keep him and the little lady separated. Don't want her having babies when she is to young. I wish you luck with her and hope all is well. Welcome to the world of goats!!! Have fun with them and enjoy the fantastic, crazy & hectic life they are about to bring you.. You will be in through it all.

If he's not fixed you need to separate them
