Have you noticed any change in her girly parts? Thats going to be the most help to you.... I have a young doe that is just poofy looking back there where as my bred doe is generally tighter looking. Her vulva pointed down more after she was bred but the other does is always like that. If you went off a general pooch test some would probably say the younger doe is bred.

I think she is possibly bred or you may have caught her on a cycle. Was she flagging? Has she been acting needy? Any interest in bucks? When I have a question about heat or not I go to my friends house and rub on their big stinky buck then come home and see how the doe in question acts. I also rub a towel on the buck and put in with the girl I think is in heat... she'll respond!

I didnt realize she was so young. They will change as they age and it doesnt mean they are bred. With that said, I'm not so sure now. I would send in blood work to bio tracking to be sure. When you said young I assumed over 6 months but under a year... I highly doubt she was bred at 8 weeks though

I would get the blood test done to be sure.

It could be that she is changing because of age. Ive got a doe that ballooned at 7 months... she looked bred but I dont have a buck so I knew she wasnt. It was all just her body maturing. Hoping thats the case for your girl.

We are just a little nervous because she hasn't had 1 single heat since we got her and I am jus very worried, an her kids will be grade.... Which really sucks... But I am very worried
Keep in mind that alot of does dont come into a real heat until they are 8 or 9 months olds. I would do the blood test and have sure results instead of relying on the bleach test or pooches.
