Pregnant doe panting??

Anyone seen this? 3-4 year old first time boerX doe, Due within the next week or 2, no udder yet, fine and eating this AM, up now and panting while standing, moving around fine, normal temp, have not caught urine for ketones, nice cool day and 72 degrees now. Ligs present, a bit soft. Lids medium pink, wormed a week ago, selenium/Vit E recently, shots current.

What should I be watching for here? I've dealt with ketosis in the past and so far (without a ketone test) I'm a bit lost.

I think all you really can do is watch her. I have seen heavily pregnant does breath funny, but not pant. Those boer does carry a lot of babies sometimes. I wonder if she might kid a little early.

It never hurts to give a little b-complex. Is she eating okay?
