It's my mini ober. She just hasn't been acting right today. Its gotten to around 85 F here so she was panting a bit. I shaved her a little to help her cool off and hosed her down. Neither of which she liked. I didn't shave her all the way because it can still get pretty cool at night here.
Anyways her temp is normal (102) but she was still breathing hard once I got her cooled off a bit. I listened to her lungs and they are clear but her upper airway sounds really junky. She could be bred but I don't think she is. She is just too small and has no udder development. I also haven't felt any kids move and the other doe due the same date as her has lots of baby movement.
So now she is laying in the sun looking very unhappy. She usually lays on the piece of plywood in the paddock but not today. She isn't interested in me at all. She is usually all over me. So I gave her some B-complex and nutri drench. She seemed a bit dehydrated but I did see her take a sip of water... weird. I made some cool molasses water for her. She is usually all over it and stops anyone else from drinking it but she didn't want anything to do with it. She is eating ok. I don't know whats up with her but I can tell something is wrong.
