A ff is in labor and it seems slow. She has been pushing for at least half hour. NOthing, no bubble, just some blood. I want to go in but.....I don't want to interfere unnecessarilly....canlt' spel.l....

someone with lots of experience call me? xxx.xxx.xxxx

I'm getting worried. Please, only call if you've had your hand inside a few goats.

Going back out there now...

Any helpers yet? I don't want to call and bug you if you've got it figured out. I've had my hand in a few, but not a ton.

Well, I did drop the phone at one point!!! Still waiting on the placenta, but all three babies are dry and have had at least 4 oz of colostrum from a bottle and all three nursed as well. They are now separated. The poor doe needs a quiet night. She was starting to grind her teeth now and then and laid her head on my lap for a while.....fortunately, I am a skilled and experienced massage therapist and she got a nice massage and stopped grinding and had some hay.

Two bucklings and a doeling.....I haven't had a chance to check the pictures, but will have some for sure by tomorrow.

Three does out of four have kidded....trips, twins, and now trips again. I will be on pins and needles until mid-June when the other ff is due! Last year I had two bred does and had two singles!
