white plug question

[ladyh]

Doe was bred 5x on Dec 8. Now five days later Dec 13, I see a small white plug in her vulva. What is that, is that normal

A lot of does will show a bit of a mucous-y material that will dry on the vulva when they are at the end of their heat cycle. I'd say it's normal.

no this isn't dry mucous material, it's an actual wet white plug in the vulva, 5 days after breeding not heat cycle.

What I'm saying is that a lot of does will show a white mucous-y material that you will see at the end of the heat cycle- maybe even a few days after they have been bred. On my does sometimes I see it when it is white and wet, and sometimes I see it after it dries up and gets crusty. And, I'm assuming she was in heat when you bred her so the timing would be about right.

If you think it's something different maybe you could post a pic?

ok, gotcha

Probably normal. We see discharge from our does about a week after breeding them.
