    Goat Just Kidded, Diarrhea

    Doe in labor

    We have a Nigerian dwarf doe who is in labor. She has been trying to prolapse for the last few weeks it's been a huge battle, but she is in labor now. Or at least we thought.

    Looking for a good book on kidding.

    I have been trying to find a book which is either focused on, or contains a good section on, kidding. Preferably with photos - what's normal, what's not, what to do, etc. There is some very good info on this site, I'm just a real book person. Plus, when that time comes, I'm thinking that no...
