[danielle]

gone

Because you know the date you got her, look at the gestation calendar and calculate whether she would be due now. There is a 10 day window. 145-155

Well when I bought her in took her home the last owner called in said that she let her bucks run with there mom's after they were weaned so after the 3 month of having her she got a belly in Lil udder in then this month she is huge my friend suggest I checked her ligaments in they were gone in both her sides
R sunken in I cant feel babies but she don'te udder in her vagina is pink in swollen I'm just worried cause she is so young

Confused a bit by what you wrote. Maybe I read that wrong but it sounds like she is five month old Pygmy and was possibly bred by a Boer buck. If that is the case, you should get a vet ready. But that can't be right---because Southern is saying she would be due now. What a sec...

 

[Pearce Pastures]

Oh I see--she is ten months old. But is she a Pygmy and bred by a Boer?

 

[danielle]

Oka I got her when she was just weaned so she was 5 now she is 9 months old

 

[danielle]

I'm not for sure they had pygmy in boer together so they said she could b a mix i had her for 5 months now so if she is pregnant then she should have the babies by now right?

 

[Pearce Pastures]

She would be due now. How big is she? Do you have a photo?

She is young and a female Pygmy bred to a male Boer is dangerous. If that is a possibility, I urge you to call a vet TODAY for an ultrasound and if she is pregnant and due to kid, you will need to talk options with the vet.

She weighs 35 pounds she is a mix between a boer in a pygmy goat I'll have to wait in call our vet they ain't open on weekends

At 35 pounds, there is definite cause for concern. That is small for even a full-blooded pygmy at ten months and makes me fairly sure that she is not a Boer cross. If she is not pregnant, I would suspect parasites and order a fecal test, and analyze her diet. If she is pregnant, sorry if this sounds harsh, but she is probably going to need a C-section to make it through the birth.
