Oh and here is the little girl that's inside. I will try and get some of the other once her and bubble are settled it
Yeah, thats what I was thinking. The healthy one came out perfectly normal. This one obviously is rotting and dead so I didn't know if it was attached still or if it is something that should be taken out. I will leave it alone and flush her out later. Checking ash now, but she was just chewing cud not too long ago. I think tomorrow would be more likely for her.Aw, she's adorable! Good grief, no, I wouldn't pull anything. You can do a Warm saline uterine flush with a dissolved bolus in it. It will help things along and feel good. Poor Bubble, she had a rough go.
How's Ash?
I am goat beginner. When you say the doe stretched, what does it mean ?(headsmash) Gosh darn doe code. I am going INSANE! How is it day 151 and 0 out of 5 goats(and one sheep) have gone or even look very close!
Okay, I did check dates and I got Mary-Lou and Twinkle early. They were bred October 8, putting them (still)at 149. The other girls remain the same. 150/151 days.
Ash was standing totally alone(in the wind) tonight. Udder felt quite a bit bigger. Some discharge. She was stretching quite a bit earlier.
Bessie's udder has gotten even bigger over the last couple hours. A little bigger than a basketball now. Only the bottom feels tight though. Everything else is still pretty loose.
Bubble was also stretching a lot earlier. Udder maybe looked bigger tonight, it was dark though. Ligs are even looser than a little bit ago.
Mary-Lou is the same, ligs are softer.
Twinkle has had pretty loose ligs. Udder looks about the same but she was a fill during kidding girl on her FF.
Lady is on day 139, anime is probably right with her. Both have been filling udders and ligs have been getting loose.
I will do a few night checks but I don't think anyone will be going. Tomorrow does seem promising though! Surely at least one of them has got to pop...Right?(doh)
Stretching is like what you do when you get up from sitting too long ...yawn and stretch out the muscles to get moving again.I am goat beginner. When you say the doe stretched, what does it mean ?
When they are close to due and are stretching a lot, more than 5 times in a 10 minute period, that usually(not always!) Means they are getting kids into position. If they are arching their back and stretching like a cat, that could be contractions.I am goat beginner. When you say the doe stretched, what does it mean ?
I may try, depends when she starts eating good. She is eating ok, but lows are still in the 20s and I just dont want her to get cold and having no food in her belly doesn't really help.Are you going to put the inside baby back with Bubbles!
I'd love a video of the very pregnant Bessie chasing little Maui that must of been quite a funny sight.
Seriously Ash, let go of those babies already... ugh, you're being silly.
Yeah, that's what I was wondering. I have seen it done the other way around, and on cows, but never sheep. I also don't know if the milk would even be okay as even the milk replacers are pretty different between the 2 and I wouldn't want the kid ill or malnourished as a result.. Never mind anyways! I just went out and there was another lamb! Bigger than the first, another ram. 1 hour, 20 minutes apart.Aw, good momma Bessie! From what I understand Ewe's usually only an count to one Lamb, and have to be taught they have more than one. @fivemoremiles am I wrong here?
Bum lambs can be put on does, but I don't know if it works the other way around. No matter, it's sure is sweet that Bessie wants to.
Maybe you just have to work harder with Bubble? Or have a house goat which is always fun.
Anyway congratulations to you and Bessie on your new ram!
