I got her about a month ago. she has a wide rib cage, but her belly is pretty low and she has some hollowed out areas towards the back (right under her spine) near the rear. she had some slight discharge about 2 weeks ago. it looked clear and it wasn't very much. she has a slight udder but i'm not sure if fat accummulation or a developing udder. I was starting to lose hope of her being pregnant. then two days ago, i noticed she's been getting louder at night. Not sure why. i figured maybe she was lonely and since there was a chance that she wasn't pregnant, i took her into my billy's pen. as i walked her in, i noticed a long string (at least a foot) of discharge hanging from behind. the billy smelled her a bit but didn't try to mount her at all and she immediately got in defense mode. she ran away from him and when he got close she would try to ram him in the head.
i took her back out and examined the string. by now the discharge was on the back side of her leg and i noticed it was a creamy white and there was a good amount. i'd say at least 3 tablespoons worth. now i'm confused. her tail bone seems to be same as in the past couple of weeks and the udder is still the same size. i've been leaving a light on at night so she is quieter.
Then this morning another string.
i went to go close up her pen for the night and new string is now there.
I don't know what to think of it.
is she in heat and should i put her with the billy goat (again)? i can't imagine the discharge would be this much for being in heat. thoughts?
or is she pregnant and how soon can she kid?
I'm so confused.
help....
