goat in labor how long does it last

[Melissa'sDreamFarm]

Annabell is in labor sine 12:30 with brown goo how long and when should I worry.

 

[20kidsonhill]

any signs of active pushing, or just some amber goo and looking distracted?

How old is Annabell?

HOw much amber goo, a long string or just a little bit?

 

[Melissa'sDreamFarm]

Several 6" strings like the one. She is 6 or 7 years old and her last babies got stuck. I' m just wondering when I should call the vet.

I would for sure put the vet on notice, especially since it is getting near the end of a work day. Or you can lube up and stick a couple fingers in there and see if you can feel a kid, and the position it is in.

My experience with these older does, if they have needed help in the past they may need help again. That is why I asked about her age.

Have any oxytocin?

 

[20kidsonhill]

to directly answer your question, They can have amber goo for several hours before going into hard labor. Did she push last time, before you had to call a vet out? or did she just stand around looking like she should be in labor, and never really pushed hard?

I hope it is going okay.
