New babies!

Ok, One of my Pygmy's had a little chocolate buckling around 3:30. She passed the afterbirth, and appears to still be in labor. How long between babies usually? When do I need to be worried?

If it has been an hour or so, you may want to see what you can 'feel' in there. I've had does wait, but not usually that long. Is she in distress? Do you have any 'goat ladies' that are local that you can call?

I had the vet come out. She was done. He thought that the way she was still pushing, and as large as she still was, that she had at least one more. He went in twice and palpated, and there was no more.

And can I just say for the record...I am sooooo glad I am NOT a goat! OUCH!! I thought "being checked" while I had my kids was bad enough, but HOLY COW, a large male human hand in a goat.....OUCH!!
