What does white discharge mean after breeding? Help please...

[WhiteMountainsRanch]

I noticed a little bit of white discharge from the girly areas of one of my girls I brought back from the breeders. I've had her back about 6 weeks now. I am having a hard time seeing if any have come into heat, but I don't think she has... should I be worried about anything?

When was she bred?

About 6 weeks ago.

Usually whitish discharge means she is either coming in heat or going out. A clear discharge is when she is in standing heat.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I just bred my doe 10 days ago and cannot get anyone to explain the white discharge!! Please help if you have gotten any answers!!

Usually white or clear discharge from the vagina is normal. It increases at the time of oestrus and when the animal is pregnant and is due to the action mainly of oestrogen. Discharge just after mating can just be a bit of semen loss. Discharge increases significantly in the pregnant animal in the days before birth.

If the discharge is thick, yellow, copious, smelly or cheesy, or the animal seems ill, then infection is likely to be present and the animal will probably need a vets opinion.

Just an update; I noticed last night she was acting like she was in heat so took her back to the breeders today and had her rebred. Crossing my fingers she settled!!!

Fingers crossed! Hope she is successfully mated.
