Sorry! My boyfriends grandpa died last week so we spent some time at his grandmas. She was fine yesterday, no oozing or puffy redness. She looked more comfortable. I think they might just have been giving her grief and moving around. I got a hold of the lady, she said she should be due in the end of January, which might actually be possible. She said the buck she bred her to was not that big, and the boers she had that were out of him weren't that big so I think* it will be ok. I checked on her tonight, she may have been a little puffy but she isn't acting funny anymore. I think she will probably have them soon, maybe in the next week but not tonight. I think I just got overly worried. The babies are dropping and her udder is filling, she's got a good handful now with the wax plugs and everything. She's actually not a small goat, the people I got my boer doe from had does maybe a little taller than her, so I really think she will be ok. I've got all my kidding stuff and a vet to call if anything happens. Thanks for all the advice and support! Keep it coming please!

Thanks andabigmac those videos are awesome!
She definitely still has her tail ligaments, so I will relax now lol
I have not checked her internally, I think I'll have my mom help me with that. She is a nurse so she will have a better idea of what she's feeling. My aunt also breeds goats, I'll have her out as well.

Glad to hear she is doing okay. I was really starting to worry that something had gone wrong.
