I have a doe that I think is about to go into labor. I think I can feel ligs and no sign of a bag. But I am just not sure.

Maybe she's coming in heat? If you can feel her ligaments and she has no evidence of developing an udder, I doubt she is getting ready to kid.

She could be losing her plug. This can happen pretty early on in pregnancy, or as late as a day before kidding. Is it all white, or is there any amber color to it? She appears to be pregnant, but our does have white and clear "goop" when they are in heat. However, based on that belly and the way her back end looks like there is a lot of pressure coming from the inside, I would guess she is prego. :)

Hmmm, she could be getting closer than, but I am really new at this. Do you know her breeding date?
