How far do goats dilate? Because of her history, I checked on gardenia, we are only about a cm dilates

 

[Sweetened]

Im concerned with her lack of progress. She is up, down, pawing, calling (trying to get lavs baby through the divider), shaking like a leaf, and contracting every 5-10 minutes. I cant help her thpugh if I cant get in there. I also havent seen or felt kid movement for over an hour

I hope she's alright! Have you tried 'bumping' her?

 

[Sweetened]

Yup, no reaction.

 

[Goatgirl47]

Yup, no reaction.

I mean this way:

Quote: "The best indicator that all the kids are delivered is to bump the doe. Standing with your side to the doe facing the front, reach your arms around her rear barrel right in front of the udder. Lift up sharply and allow the barrel to fall into your hands. If she is done the muscles will be quite relaxed and you should feel no mass inside except maybe a ball of placental material. If you feel a hard lump, you most likely have another kid inside. Proceed with this bumping by moving your hands forward on the belly, bumping her every four or five inches until you reach the end of the rear rib. You may find a kid by bumping up near the rib cage that you have not felt my manual exploration inside the uterus."

[Goatgirl47]

[Sweetened]
