Induce or not?

[moonspinner]

I have a pregnant 8 yr old ND doe on day 154. I've only had one go past 149 and that was 150. She is acting/eating normally, no signs of discomfort or contractions, zero discharge. Last night I did feel a kid moving.
I've had conflicting advice on whether to induce labor or not. I'd like to give her the 155 days but if nothing after that, unsure how to proceed.
If I do induce is it just with Lutalyse or is oxytocin also given? Is there any danger of inducing?
Thanks for all insights.

I have a ND X Nubian doe who was bred to a full size Nubian buck. I got a little worried when she went past her 150 days. She kidded on day 154 with triplets and had a rather easy birth for a 2 year old FF. I would have consulted my vet about inducing if she's gone beyond 155 days. It's really important to be absolutely certain of the breeding date before you induce. Folks who induce give Lute. Some also give Dex, but for an overdue doe, the lungs should be mature enough the dex isn't needed. The oxytocin is given after she kids to help her clean out if she doen't pass her afterbirth within a reasonable time.

If you are absolutely certain of the breeding and due date, there should be no harm in inducing with Lutalyse, if you follow the protocol.

A friend here says her does nearly always go 155 days. Mine have so far been mostly 145 days but up to 150 days.
