What are your thoughts on this Nubians rear end? She is 7 months old. Just purchased her.
Her vagina looks swollen and wet..maybe in heat?
But her booty end Looks a little dirty...worms? Her eyelid and coat look fine...

(I know most of you will say take a sample in which i will but in the mean time...would like opinions)

I'm interested in what it is
My 7 month nubian doe has a bit of a messy backside that looks just like yours. I dont think its worms because I just gave her Corrid last week. Not sure.
Sorry for the story! Interested to hear the answers you get!

What do her poops look like?

 

[MyotonicMama]

She had one clumpy poop (which made me think worms again) but then the rest have been normal pellets...
The lady said she did worm her (the whole herd) 5 days ago with liquid safeguard...
All her goats looked great though. ‍♀

(I gave her some probiotics when we got home just to help with any stress from the trip home. )

 

[MellonFriend]

It could just have been moving stress and diet changes that made her have some clumpieness. I will say that safeguard does not work as well as other wormers in some areas, so a fecal still would be a good idea. More probiotic wouldn't hurt while your figuring out if worms are an issue.

She's a pretty girl by the way. She looks very healthy otherwise.

She does look like she is in heat. I always always take in a fecal for a new goat and quarantine. We can only guess. It’s good to know where you are starting with her.

I think she is in season. What does your buck think? You can’t fool him. If you let him around her for a few minutes you’ll know for sure. I would not let him with her for long , just to see reaction then take him out . If he shows no interest in her then it’s something else.

I have a 4 month old buckling who tried getting on her right away haha. He's so much shorter than her it's entertaining.

 

[goatblessings]

He can breed her, even if he's "vertically challenged". Please separate. 7 months is a bit young to get pregnant.

 

[SalteyLove]

She looks pregnant to me! I am most likely wrong but as soon as I opened up the post and saw the photos I thought it!

I dont have nubians..I have meat goats..she looks in season to me.

I thought that also when I purchased her. And asked if she's ran with a buck already and she said no...and she had them in separate pens...

So then I thought okay maybe bloated?
And she said she thought it was because she was eating too many carbs...so she stopped feeding them the feed mixed with corn. I dunno.
I'll take in a fecal and start there...

Why does everybody want to feed corn? Corn for me has proved to be a disaster for feed. Maybe a little once in a while but none is better. IMO

My jr Nubians look quite swollen like the pic above. I’m not seeing anything to make me think she is already pregnant- but she will get bred if you don’t separate her.

 

[GoofyGoat]

I don’t have Nubians, but my first thought was she looks bred too.
She’s a pretty doe. I love her markings. I’m sure she’ll be a nice addition to your herd. Congratulations.
