Help! - Pink fleshy thing hanging
My oldest doe - 12 yrs - has a pink fleshy thing hanging from her vaginal area. It's smooth and does not appear painful, but is well attached. She's eating normally. What could this be?! I know she's not a hermie as she has produced many kids for me.

Did she deliver recently where it could be part of afterbirth or maybe tissue from the uterus?
Can you get a picture for us?

It could be a growth I suppose, but it wasn't there yesterday - or I didn't see it. She has not kidded this year, and I don't believe she's bred. I can't find my camera! I'll post a pic as soon as I can.

Could it be a prolaspe?

I don't believe so. I've helped treat prolapses before, and this doesn't look like any of them.

I'm not sure what it is but it doesn't look like a prolapse to me either. It's some kind of tissue, I'd guess from the uterus. I hope someone that's had this happen with one of their goats see's this & can help.
Can you take her to your vet?

You can email the vet a picture if you have a regular one you trust. I do and have done that in the past saving me a trip and a fee.
I have never seen that before and I hope it is nothing serious.

Hopefully it'll be something like a polyp and can be corrected. I agree, need a vet to check that. Try to keep it clean, I might even try putting it back once it's clean if there was no place to keep her till tomorrow that she can't get it contaminated. You have my sympathy, it doesn't look like anything I'd want to deal with

I could swear a few months back someone else had a goat with something like that. I can't remember what it turned out to be but I believe it was nothing. Maybe I can find the post I'll start searching.

The pink hanging thing a few months ago was larger, and it was a prolapse.

That really looks like some of the lochia you get, the more mucusy kind.

It's not mucus at all. It's solid and fleshy. She hasn't kidded, and unless we have flying sperm, which I know is possible on goat farms  , she hasn't been bred.

I have searched and I can't find the post that i was talking about. I can look again tomorrow though. Good luck and ask the vet. Maybe even take a picture into them to look at.
