So Mamma Nacho is due today. I put her into the kidding pen.

Which is a dog run, on a cement slab.

It's been two days now. She WON'T pee or poop in the kennel. I keep going out there and taking her to the toilet and as soon as I take her out she pees and poops.

So do I have to worry about her holding it? She's a feral goat. So she's not used to concrete maybe?

I worry about her holding it. And causing her a bladder issue. I've never met a goat that "holds it" before.

How often are you walking her?

Peggy Sue "holds it" while she's living inside. As long as I take her to pee every couple hours she is fine. She usually doesn't pee overnight, though she does poop a little. She was fine while she was pregnant.

Does she have a straw bedding? if not maybe that would help her getting over being pee-shy

I was about to suggest bringing straw or shavings in too.

 

[Scottyhorse]

I bet straw would help

She does have that. She did pee and poop in there overnight. So hopefully it broke the "spell". lol

 

[Scottyhorse]

Hopefully!!

How about throwing some dirt and leaf litter in the kennel to simulate the yard? It can be easily swept out when she kids.
