A single doeling!!!

Pictures from tonight. I felt for her ligs, still there.

Here may be a better picture to show just how large she's getting. DH just sent this to me.

I was just thinking that a nursing dam may not come into heat ? But my thinking obviously can be incorrect. I was trying to not over feed with pellets but give her all the hay she wants. I will up the grain. DH wants to let her out to free range since she's looking thin. I just don't know...

For as pregnant as she should be, so doesn't look anywhere near as fat as some of your girls @Goat Whisperer. Neither did Moonpie though with just twins. Is this because you're expecting more than twins? She has access to Hay 24/7, water and minerals. She also gets 1 cup of feed daily. Before...

She's filling out nicely. Kids are attempting to get me some additional photos while I'm at work today :) :pop:pop

Day 146 :pop :barnie:drool :caf Luckily since it is summer the kids are home ALL day most of the time. They are my eyes and ears while I have to be in the office. She's become VERY affectionate the last 2 days. Bag is very full. I'll try and get some photo's this evening when I get home for a...

She is not a fan of the kidding stall. She's never been enclosed and she's being very vocal about it all o_O She will be fine though. Her due date is a week away! I can't believe it. Most go right up to day 150 right? I wanted to put her in the stall just IN CASE she didn't go the full 150...

Does give you more kidding times :love but the additional stress of it all as well LOL :lol:

Well her due date is around the corner. July 21. :pop Here are the latest pics from yesterday. She's filling out very nicely if I might say so myself. I'm getting the birthing stall all set up for her. Need to get fresh hay to put down and move her in so she can get comfortable with her new home.

Awww...congrats! Beautiful babies. :love

Thanks! I couldn't have said it better myself. Yet, we love them so.

Whoever said goats were easy, lied. I don't believe that until you own them and raise them can you understand just how fragile they are. :(

Thanks :( Not that any loss is easy, but this one is hard. DH cried his eyes out like a baby this morning. We had all become attached to her since she was a bottle baby and quite spoiled at that. It's hit the house hold and kids pretty hard this morning. Very somber day around our small farm. We...

Thank you for the help, but no need for the vet. She passed over night. :hit:hitvery peaceful, in her little dog bed curled up. If nothing else I just pray she wasn't suffering.

She nudges me like she would an udder to let down when feeding. But when I try and bottle feed she absolutely refuses, multiple times. :hu if she is that hungry, why won't she just take the bottle. She did just fine a few days ago.

This is the ingredients of the colostrum she possibly got.

This is what they used. Said the bottle and nipple, Pritchett nipple and sprite bottle, I told them to use choked her! But I wasn't able to be here to help!! I could cry. I tried to explain to them that it would work, they wouldn't hear me. :\ I'm going to see if she will take anything now. :fl

I'll contact the vet in the morning. By what you say you newborns are eating, I'm very pessimistic. Trying not to be :(:(. But the last 48 hrs is when she wouldn't take more than a couple ounces. And now tonight, shows no interest and no energy. All she wants to do is sleep. I took her out just...

She has no interest in feeding tonight. I will give it a little while and try again. I worry this wasn't caught soon enough. :( I pray the b complex gives her the boost she needs.
