Another goat question-

{ 08:33, Friday, February 15, 2008 } { Posted in Goats! } { 1 comments } { Link }
I have a Nubian that is due in 10-14 days that appears to be having some difficulty breathing when laying down.  I actually thought she was in labor 2 days ago but appears fine when standing.  She is abnormally large with babies-I suspect she is carrying 3-4 kids.  She is doing the "yawning" and stretching when standing so I know it is close to time.   I am prepared for whatever birthing difficulties with the kids-but my question is about the doe:  Is there anything that I can do to assist her now to prevent stress damage on her?  I have been giving her Nutri-drench daily to keep her strong.  I have her in the barn now-away from the other goats.  Any Ideas?

Goats and Hello

Good morning, I just came across your blog and really enjoyed it. Love the name!! We are in Kansas, so hi neighbor.
We also have goats, I have seen many times when the does get close to kidding they are very uncomfortable when laying down. Babies are just taking up so much room it is hard for them to breathe at times. I would just keep an eye on her.
I have added you to my friends list so I will know when you have those cute little kids! Hope all goes well.
I see you have had this flu, so have I!!! Hadn't been that sick for many years. Hubby had it now, but I am starting to come back to normal.
