Yes, I mean I know she's not in active labor. But she's showing all the signs of impending labor and from everything I've read they go into labor shortly after. We're on the day 17 and she's still showing theses signs, but still no babies. I thought she'd go into labor in a couple days. But I...

I have a 4 year old pregnant pygmy. She's had kids in the past with her previous owners. She's been showing signs of labor for 6 day now. *Lost her ligaments *Bagged up *Loose and red behind *Became very shy/skittish (Typically friendly) *Made nests *Has a larger appetite *Sits like a dog...

Thank you for your advice and words of support. I appreciate all the help you guys have given me. :)

She died.:hit The vet called back and said to give her aspirin twice a day, and if that didn't help he could come back out. She started screaming again in the afternoon. Didn't have any aspirin in the house. By the time I had gotten some and went out to give it to her, she was dead. The aspirin...

I called the vet earlier, and left a voicemail. It's a Saturday, though, so I don't know when there office will call me back. :\ I gave her cinnamon and nutmeg because those spices are supposed to help relive pain. She stopped screaming and is laying down now. She started to eat a little brush...

What should I do? Should I give her more banimine? Is there any other pain killer I can give her? She seems very upset still. She did lay down and sleep for a little bit, but she just got up and started screaming now.

Update, We called the vet on Tuesday because she stopped eating hay and brush. Found out she has an infection. He gave us banamine and antibiotics. She's been getting Kyro syrup (Just a sugary syrup to help give her more energy) and probiotics also(Per his recommendation). She still has no...

I have a 2 year old Nubian doe. She had one buckling March 9. We've weaned the buck off of her and have been milking once a day, just started milking twice a day. she only gives about 1.5 quarts of milk. (Not a lot, I know) I believe she had lung worm - clumpy stool, skinny, coughing...

Ok, thank you. Glad to know I was just overreacting and my goat is fine.:)

Yes, we're going to dry her up in January, to give her 2 months to rest. I'm just confused as to why she gives so little milk at night.

I recently purchased a 2 year old American Nubian. This is her first year in milk. She is also pregnant and due in March. Her breeder does blood test so hopefully I won't have another false pregnancy.:fl She gets a pound of grain AM +PM.(It is the same kind of grain her breeder was giving her)...

I think that's what it is/was. No kids. :mad: Oh well. Off to find a buck. :p

Thank you for that article. August 21 was when the ligaments softened, but they are defiantly gone now. I can feel her bone. I've been feeling the bone for a few days now. Both are pawing and lieing down and standing back up often. Both goats are vocal. Which is unusual as Dixie is typically...

7 weeks, 7 WEEKS :barnie. 7 Weeks ago they lost their ligaments. That's 49 days! Almost a third of the entire pregnancy! So basically for 49 days my goats have been showing symptoms of going into labor within a few days including: *lost ligaments *personality changes *biting at sides *leaking...

The kids should have been here around the 4th or 5th. I'm really doubting if my goats are actually pregnant. :somad If I knew they definitely weren't, then I would find a buck for them to 'visit with'. But I just don't know anymore. Why aren't there any kids yet? :barnie
