I figured since we are only 5 weeks out from kidding that I should start a waiting thread!

Our first doe due is Hanna. She looked to have triplets or quads on her ultrasound at 45 days. Hoping it's twins or triplets lol. She had some lameness issues last year with only twins and I had to induce her. One was born dead. I'm hoping things will go smoother this year for her. I will most likely induce so she kids when I'm home in case of any issues. She is due September 13th. She is bred to Wild and these will be his first kids on the ground. She started developing an udder about 4 weeks ago.

Coyote should also be due around the same time but not sure if she took or got bred later. Hasn't had any udder development yet but looks bred. She is also bred to Wild.

Babies! I know I'm probably crazy staying up at this time but whenever we have a doe ready to kid I sleep in the barn and wait lol but that has saved 2 kids already from dying in the mom. I guess that's why I'm always on night duty cause I never sleep lol

Checked dilation on both. Magic is almost fully dilated but Don't feel a baby or a bubble on the other side. Her contractions are definitely getting stronger. I'm thinking she's trying to move a baby into place.

Lucy is about 2 fingers dilated and a believe i felt a bubble on the other side so that is a relief! She is also having contractions but not has strong.

They are almost 30 hrs post Dex and Lute shots. Every doe I have induced has gone at about 33-36 hrs post shots.
Looks like your in for a long night, I hope thats all what magics doing is moving the babies but exciting that Lucy's is going all good!

Very thankful for such an amazing vet!

Poor Magic had to have an emergency c-section. She had what looked to be a bad uterine infection. The cotyledons of the placenta looked infected and were falling off. The placenta was basically just coming apart in our hands. Very unhealthy looking. It's amazing that they even made it to term.

But all 3 babies and Magic are doing great! She is a fantastic mom and is accepting all 3 and trying to steal Lucy's baby despite having just had major surgery. She had 2 doelings and a buckling (spot on his back).

Rough night but worthing saving all four!
