Mini-M Ranch
Overrun with beasties
So, husband and I got home late this evening. We found Oreo with white discharge from her hoo-hoo, belly dropped, muttering softly (she normally says NOTHING except when she is head-butting somebody, then she sounds like a wookie). She is breathing heavily and stretching and hunching a lot. She is also licking her lips like crazy and her udder is noticably bigger than it was this morning, although it is still higher than what I have seen in other goats who are ready to labor. She still has a pretty good appetite, but she usually is simply ravenous. lol.
Her hoo-hoo still seems pretty dry, just a bit of clearish fluid and she isn't nesting too much just yet. She is just kind of walking around in circles. I also checked her ligaments and felt none (they were thinnish feeling this morning, but now I don't find them at all.
Sometimes she gets really quiet and stands VERY still. Then her belly sort of tightens and she gets a far away look in her eyes. Contractions, maybe? I'm hoping. Tonight is supposed to be the best and warmest weather for the next 10 days. Hoping she is actually doing it! Oh, the breeder had her due date written down as 01-18 or 1-20. What do you think?
