We have used pine trees/branches before but we don’t have a whole bunch on our property. We did give them our Christmas tree though!

Yes, vet said we are lucky she is still alive. It would be awesome if baby is still alive but if not, at least she will be okay. She can have more babies... wow, we haven’t had any of that luckily. Glad yours is okay. We have a problem with foot scald, seems like every time it rains we have to treat multiple goats feet. And it has been raining what seems like non stop all winter.
And thank you for replying!

Vet thinks baby might be alive. But momma is very wormy, apparently our dewormer isn’t working too well.. bet had to give her cydectin, she was also running a fever so she is also on LA200.. neither of which has been approved for pregnant goats, so she will likely abort the pregnancy..

What dewormers do y’all use on pregnant does?

I’m gonna call my vet tomorrow, and hope they can give me some oxytocin, but I’m pretty sure “they will have to see her”. I just don’t wanna lose her too!

Help please.

We raise Boer/Boer cross goats. We have been having babies left and right. We have had one of our does penned up for a couple weeks, she was due anytime when we put her up (her ligaments were soft, bag was really full, etc). Well she never had a baby. I felt her a few days ago and you can feel the baby, but it isn’t moving and her bag is drying up. I felt her again today and the baby is in the same place and still no movement and her bag is smaller then before.

Anyone ever had this happen? What do we need to do?
