Exploring the pasture
Hi All,
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts as this is my first experience with kidding. My doe kidded about a week early. The 2 bucklings were stillborn and the doeling is amazing!! However, my doe is licking her constantly. She is especially licking her bottom. This frequently pushes her and sometimes pushes her over. It can make nursing a little tough because she is pushing and licking at her and often pushes her off of the teat. I know that licking the kid is normal after delivery, but this has now been going on for 3 days. Is this normal? Any thoughts of what I should do?
Thanks you so much!!
