Geeeeeesh!

My girls are ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trouble has had these barely there ligs for like a week, week and a half, if not longer. Im going crazy.

Cadence is so hollowed out, her spine is prominent. Look like an ethiopian. Both have been goopy, and yawny, and stretchy.....And every other sign known to man. Im so mad, Im going to buy a bottle baby tonight or friday. Kiko. I want kiko/boers... Anyone know a breeder????
The one Im getting is from a small heard, in TN.

GraceAlice · #**442** 03/27/14, 10:26 AM

Just remember. .. The four tell-tale signs are. ..

1. Losing ligs COMPLETELY
2. Udder getting very tight and big
3. Amber goop
4. Contractions

Honestly, the little signs don't matter much. As you've learned, LOL

I don't know of any kiko breeders over there. Post lots of pictures! !

Good luck..when you quit watching is when they will do it.

MirandaT · #**444** 03/27/14, 11:27 AM

I quit watching days ago. Even quit my night checks. Just have the monitor up. When I go out to feed or water, I'll check ligs, then stomp off dissapointed.

MirandaT · #**446** 03/27/14, 11:33 AM

At this point they could have them all alone without me and I wouldnt even care, Just as long as I knew the process was over and each one was alive and healthy

DOE CODE ...DOE CODE....DOE CODE....DOE CODE!!!!!!

unless neither are actually pregnant (just faking her out) and then it could take until this time NEXT year

(by now I would have drawn blood and sent it off.. $6.50 per goat is MORE then worth it to me to actually KNOW.. instead of spending my life, worried/wandering... Desi is HUGE (she is due on April 20th).. I **KNOW** just from looking at her she is bred.. but I still drew blood a couple days ago and sent it in.. just to be SURE

I noticed that trouble looks more elongated from the hips down....

So I was checking her out, taking pics and I noticed she has this funny color drip.

So I touched it but it would not show the color on my skin, so I went in, got tp, wiped her and the stuff she's leaking is a thin constancy, but its orange..like a neon orange.....this is not blood right!!! I don't know what it is or if its normal. But needless to say, I'm a teensy bit panicking...

Keep refreshing and I'll post pics. Only letting me do one at a time

MirandaT · #**452** 03/27/14, 01:10 PM

Longer back side??

GoldenWood Farm · #**453** 03/27/14, 01:10 PM

Miranda I am PM'ing you my cell number in case you need to call me. I have a doe I am watching for labor as well so I might not be right next to the computer.

Justine

MirandaT · #**454** 03/27/14, 01:11 PM

Orange drip. She peed after I did this, her pee is yellowish clear. Not orange

MirandaT · #**455** 03/27/14, 01:12 PM

Ok...do you do text. I have sporty reception in the barn. Actually every where. My bedroom, Livingroom and kids room are dead zones too

GoldenWood Farm · #**456** 03/27/14, 01:13 PM

Hmmmm....it kind of looks like blood but blood is either bright red if fresh or dull brown/red if old. Any guesses you guys? I am thinking maybe a bit of birth fluid leaking out? You said she doesn't have her ligs anymore right?

Justine
PS: Yes I do text, quite a lot

MirandaT · #**457** 03/27/14, 01:14 PM

She will be the death of me

GoldenWood Farm · #**458** 03/27/14, 01:16 PM

I hear you...I really do. I have a doe who for some reason dropped production though she acts normal, isn't running a fever or a sub temp. Another doe hasn't dropped production but has a temp of 99.5 yet and shivering but acts perfectly normal and is eating.

Both got a dose of oral CPMK and I didn't milk either one. I am watching them like hawks and now Lady could go into labor at any minute

MirandaT · #**459** 03/27/14, 01:18 PM

No dark brown stuff, or bright red. Just orange. She's staring at the wall, is up and down, and her ligs are barely there. I can feel them at the narrowest point attached to her spine. But that's it.

GoldenWood Farm · #**460** 03/27/14, 01:24 PM

Hmmm....well right now I would keep an eye on her but if she isn't in distress I would leave her alone. It is hard because if she is close it could very well be birthing fluid. Does it have a smell?
