Hi everyone :frow. I've been posting on this forum for a couple of months now and thought it might be time to start a thread here. I'm a newbie to goats and Khaleesi is due to kid anytime. She was already bred when I bought her but the previous owner did not keep a track of dates.

Over the last couple of weeks she has had goo, both clear and amber colored, mostly small amounts. Then, maybe 5 days ago she had a long string of white/clear goo. Not a lot since then. She has become waaay more affectionate (she already was clingy) and loves nothing more than to stand hard against me and have me rub her face while she closes her eyes. :hugs

She has kidded twice before and has had twins both times. I've posted some photos below that I took just yesterday. How close does everyone think she is till kidding? Do you think she will have a single or twins?

Thanks in advance for all opinions :thumbsup

The last photo is of her laying down...too tired to walk any further after just 20 minutes browsing!

I am horrible at guessing how long before they kid but I would say that she is having twins again. Looking forward to seeing her kids.

One of my sheep gets really affectionate like that in the couple weeks before she lambs. I am not good at guessing timing on goats, but statistically she's likely to have twins again. I know you are so looking forward to her kidding!

She's still a very pretty girl :) I'll guess twins also, though she doesn't look all that "wide". And I'll guess some time the week of valentines day. Good luck :fl and keep us posted please!

While I'm patiently (not!) waiting for Khaleesi to hurry along with kidding, I have a question.

I attempted to buy some Bo-Se the other day. All I could find was "Vitamin E + Selenium" Pro inj. The company seems to be VMD. As stated on the bottle, "Vitamin E acetate 17mg, Sodium selenite pentahydrate 1.67mg,Excipient up to 1ml"

"Indications: Treatment and prevention of muscular dystrophy (White Muscle Disease, Stiff Lamb Disease) in cattle, pigs and poultry. Encephalomalaia, exudative diathesis, decreased hatchability of eggs in poultry, diminished fertility in pigs.

Dosage: Intramuscular injection
- Ruminants 2 - 2.5 ml/10kg b.w.
- Pigs 1.2 ml/10kg b.w

Repeat injection after 1 month (in case of prevention, 1injection is sufficient).

- Poultry - 10 mls per 40 ll of drinking water, during 6 days.

Has anyone heard of this one before? Will it be ok to use? It's made in Belgium.

Thanks
