I have doe who is 5 days overdue. Is this normal? Her ligaments are still tight and she has an udder but It’s not completely full. She is acting normal and isn’t in distress.
She might be one that just fills at the last moment.
I know ND tend to go closer to day 145, but gestation is still 145-155 for the species as a whole. It’s not going to be totally off the wall and super worrisome if she goes on 155 especially if she only has a single in there, which singles gestation tend (not a rule!) is longer then multiples.
Does she share a fence with a buck? I know it seems like one of those things that might be possible but probably won’t happen but breeding threw a fence is a very very real thing so if she does share a fence line she might’ve due later
My nigies go anywhere from day 145-152 as a rule but nothing is set in stone. She might be a last minute fill but I’m thinking she’s not ready yet. Doe code.
I took her to the vet because I was worried and they ultrasounded her. She has 1-2 babies in there. We for sure saw 1 its heartbeat and everything. Pretty sure there are two but it’s hard to tell. The vet thinks she must have gotten bred at a later date. So still waiting and watching her.
