she will probably scream and be mad to be by herself. I am goign to leave my doe in with two female goats for kidding time. I tried seperating but the nonpreg doe kept leaping in with her so i am letting them be. Maybe invest in a baby monitor to listen in. I am getting down to the last few days too. I am sooooo excited.

DGS- I am still waiting and getting anxious also! Today Gretta has more white discharge which is her plug, so I keep watching. Its been over a month since she started loosing her plug and then it stopped, so now its back, woo hoo!
Hope you get your babies today!

If what you were feeling yesterday was a foot, and the doe still has not kidded, get that doe to the vet ASAP if she's not dilated. If she's dilated, help her deliver the kids. It's not normal for a doe to have bloody discharge and contractions, be off feed and not kid for 24 hours. Sounds like something's going on with her. I'd think she also needs a shot of CMPK or Norcalciphos.

Normal not to eat at this point. I think she is getting real close. Just keep an eye on her..if it goes into the night set your alarm clock. I think it will happen about 7ish tonight...or tomorrow morning LOL! I don't know! Good luck
