Sorry, no updates anymore, Sweetened killed herself with a spoon.
No... Daisy has officially been without ligs and dilated for 7 days. She is either day 152 with Dot, day 145, or day 138. Id reach on there and pull those kids out myself I could but shes not distressed. She is so hollow its stupid, she has kid movement on the left side and down by the udder (se with Dot) but, unless laying down, can barely find kids on the right. Daisy was glassy eyed yesterday, not today. Neither have goop. Dry as a bone.

Let's see, go on another vacation, have company for dinner, have some event you can't miss, like a wedding, forget to check on them...that will work.
I have one more to freshen this year, due between June 9 and June 23. Being the last of 28 goats to freshen I just wish she would get it over with. She is one of the three that I didn't have an exact date on so I refuse to check her, that is why I have my LGD, he knows what to do and will let me know if she kidded.
Good luck and try to stay sane.

The kid needed me, so I only checked them once last night. Thought for sure id have kids this morning. NOPE!
im concerned about her bejng dilated for 7 days. Ive scrubbed and lubed and done a sweep three seperate times and there is nothjng oresented. I hope theres not a mangled mess of kids in there that are presenting labir from continuing, but she is DRY. Aside froma couple plug type discharges, DRY. Sme with dot, but she has ligs so im less concerned.

Gosh I hope not too. There really isn't much to do but wait and lose your mind. I have never really paid much attention to ligs or dilating; I am not one to go "fishing" unless I have to.

Shes fine, i believe. She is loose or soft about 1/5th of her spine up from her tail, which is different. So I have set a "wash kitchen floor and nap Eva before recheck" goal or Id just be outside, wiggling a spoon around in my ear and trying to hollar into her HooHah: YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN SERVED YOUR EVICTION NOTICE! GTFO!
Just found out a cat aborted in my house :/ followed the blood trail, two weirdly formed kittens aborted. Fun. Better not be an omen.

Dont think it is... its just not typical of my limited experience! Went out to do my 'last check until hubby comes home' and she had some white discharge presenting. So yeah, wont be my last check before hubby comes home. Nope. Ill go out and get disappointed at least once more.
