arching her back
Hi all!
I have a fainting doe. she looks like she is bred, just got her a couple weeks ago, and the lady said she probably is bred, but she let the buck run with the girls, so who knows when? anyway, my doe has been arching her back alot the past couple days. what could this mean?

She could be positioning babies or just stretching. Hard to say but she will keep you guessing I'm sure!

Have you seen her poop? Just checking to make sure she's not constipated But I voet for posistioning the babies to if all else with this doe seems normal like her eating habits, etc.

She's probably trying to fool you into thinking that she's positioning babies just to keep you on your toes.

LOL! She probably is just trying to fool me. anyway, everything else for her seems fine. So I'll just keep an eye on her.

Try to figure out the at least latest date. From the day she was seperated from the buck
