    Hi forum! I wondered if anyone might have any insights. We have a small herd, mumma goat and her three kids. Last season we bred Mumma goat. A month before her due date we did a vet check, bloodwork/booster shots. A few days later she had prematurely given birth to three dead kids. The vet...

    Our one year old Nubian doe aborted yesterday. The vet estimated the fetus to be 45-60 days old and seemed to think the abortion was caused by her being too young (pregnancy was not planned). Vet gave oxytocin, flunixin, and excede, and after an ultrasound and feeling around, she couldn’t find...

    I'd love to hear your success stories. We lost a perfectly normal pregnancy with twin bucklings from a doe who was due Jan 18th due to bullying, based on our observations of where kids and blood were found. And seeing the herd's aggressive and hormonal behaviors (specifically the herd queen...

    Apparently 7 month old doeling can get pregnant. I've had my buck run with the does for years without separation and it's never happened. She is small and I just figured her body would not except a pregnancy. This morning she has a fluid sack and it is unmistakable, but I think is a miscarriage...

    Hello all! I have a yearling Nigerian dwarf that was confirmed pregnant 2 weeks ago (first time freshener) via ultrasound, but he could only see one. He said it appeared really early and to come back, so that’s what we did today. Well, today he couldn’t find the baby anywhere, so he’s thinking...

    I have 4 goats, a wether, a buck, a doe and a doeling. The wether and doeling (brother and sister), they were sold together and very attached! They freak out when they're not together. The wether Resin even mounts his sister Rosie all the time. I didn't think my buck would do it since he never...

    I’m not sure what is going on with my doe. She acts like she has to pee but very little comes out. She stays squatting and nothing. She also has discharge and her whole back end is wet and the top part crusty. I was asked for pictures and did a video since I have reached out for help and I have...
  8. Beginners Goat Raising
    I know the title seems silly, but let me explain why I've come to this conclusion. (This is going to be lengthy) We were given a 2 yr old wether a week ago today. He wasn't with any other goats at his previous home, he was kept separated because her larger goats bullied him. So, we got him a...

    Hi! Newbie goat lover here!! I have 3 does that we predict are due to kid in about 6 weeks (didn't mean for them all to kid around the same time but I've heard that's how it works in the goat world!). 2 are first timers. One of the first timers has been acting "off" this week. Earlier this week...

    I have a doe who's due in about a month. She's been having some brown discharge for the past day or so, and I'm getting really worried that she aborted/miscarried/has an infection. What do you guys think? The discharge looks like it has dirt in it which is possible, it has no smell that I...

    Good morning, I bred my ND doe on Sept 28. Two days ago, she had a little bright red blood on her vulva, and smear on her udder where some bloody discharge had been. She is otherwise fine. Acting normal, good appetite, temperature normal. Is this a probably miscarriage? Or something that...

    Hi, I have a pregnant pygmy-boer cross who was breed for the first time (also my first time kidding) in the summer. She's now past what we deemed to be her due date and seems thinner than she was 2 weeks ago. We expected her to kid towards the end of December. This morning I noticed a...

    Hi, I'm new to The Goat Spot and really I'm a new goat owner as well (This is my 3rd week). I have 2 does. They were sold to me as possibly pregnant. Annabelle is the smaller of the 2 and the one I was convinced was not bred even though the previous owner said that she was the one that was...
