How is Stripes today?? Hope she kids today for you!

Still nothing I was going to say she is looking close tonight... but... I'm not gonna say she is looking close till I see hooves.

She had a small prolapse when I went outside to check on her a few hours ago. It went back in on its own after a few minutes, so I'm not too worried about it.

Her udder continues to shrink

This was about 1 almost 2 weeks ago (sorry about the filter it was a very dark picture and I needed something to make it brighter)

This was 2 days ago

At this point she has almost no bag at all! I will clip her back end tomorrow to see what it looks like under her fur. I was going to clip her a few days ago but never got around to it. I will try and get some good pictures of her tomorrow after I trim her.

Stripes who refused to go sleep in the warm barn with everyone else.

Hm, now I'm wondering if she's not pregnant! Or false pregnancy? That's a really really small udder!

 

[Jenn27]

That is odd. Hope you figure out what is going on soon. You said that there were twins seen on an ultrasound, right?

I would do a test, Im thinking if she is pregnant she is not as far as you thought. Has she been bred before?

You can tell by her udder she has definitely freshened before.

Had a feeling

Yes, i was told she had at least one but it is very likely there is 2 in there. Her blood test I took at about 2 months after she was in with the buck also came back positive. I was also definitely able to feel kids about 3 weeks ago.

I have no clue what is happening! This has never happened to me before. I am giving her 5 cups of grain a day, the only thing that happened since the udder went down, is that I slowly took her grain down to 4 cups but after I realized her bag I brought it back to 5 cups. My only worry right now is that the kids have died possibly by getting rammed by my other Nubian but I though she would have aborted if they were dead.

She didn't fill her bag till after the birth last year. This will be her 4th freshening if I remember correctly.

You give her five cups of grain?! I dont know much about goats but do you think maybe you're overfeeding her
