ARSPSB · 12-12-2007, 05:18 PM

Anyone willing to coach me through a goat having troubles? it was an accidental breeding!!!!

Help.... Ill even call someone... on the phone.

dcandace · 12-12-2007, 05:28 PM

Is the nanny having trouble? or is it her and your first time?

A nanny will lay down and get uyp several times. Once you see the feet it will go very quick or it should.

resthavenfarms · 12-12-2007, 05:28 PM

Um I can try to help you but you may have to call a vet anyway

resthavenfarms · 12-12-2007, 05:31 PM

I agree with dcandace....normal birthing, once the feet and nose are seen, should be relatively quick.

ARSPSB · 12-12-2007, 05:32 PM

She had one last year and she had trouble and almost died. We decided to not breed her every again. The stud got into her pen [our stupidness we didnt know they could get through the fence like that] He was only with her for a short time so we thought she was fine... no milk or anything but here she is having one...

I called the vet... three actually and they are not available til morning... i am very far away and its hard to get a vet out here!!

dcandace · 12-12-2007, 05:33 PM

What is happening right now?

ARSPSB · 12-12-2007, 05:34 PM

Shes having some heavy contraction and some goo stuff is coming out. This has been going on for about 30 mins now...

dcandace · 12-12-2007, 05:36 PM

When she is ready to kid, she'll lay down and stretch out during contractions. When you can see the feet you can very gentle assist ONLY during contractions and when she is pushing.

Don't worry about the 30 minutes passing. I had a nanny having contractions, we went on a 2 hour ride and when we came back she had just started to push baby out. Give her a little time b4 youy worry too much

ARSPSB · 12-12-2007, 05:38 PM

Shes a little pygmy and last year she had alot of troubles and all we ever saw was a nose, and the baby died inside her and never came out right... some later had to come pull out a dead baby from her, and we almost lost her...

iris_surreal_euphoria · 12-12-2007, 05:38 PM

Yes, what is happening right now? It should all happen VERY quickly if it is normal. It is likely there will be more than one with goats.

Hun....I have had to deliver many a kid. Do you have rubber gloves? If so, put them on, with some K-Y jelly or vaseline of you don't have any K-Y. Insert 2 fingers and feel for the feet or head. How far in do you have to go before feeling it? If it's right there.....wait a few minutes and when she contracts, try to get ahold of the feet or head, and pull gently. Once she stops contracting, stop pulling. If you have to really push your fingers in to feel the kid....just leave her be. Most important....do NOT panic around her! Goats have amazing perception of someone panicing, and if she's already stressed, and senses your panic, she will fight the labor. I will stay for a bit, and try to help you!

ARSPSB · 12-12-2007, 05:47 PM

Shes on her knees and her butt in the air... just goo coming out...

Looking for the stuff you said to go check what you said.

LovesEveryHorse · 12-12-2007, 05:49 PM

I'm here. Waiting for your report on her.

gbarmranch · 12-12-2007, 05:52 PM

I can't help you with a goat delivery, but I sure will send my prayers your way..

Crazy4paints · 12-12-2007, 05:55 PM

How long has it been now, 45 min or so? Anything??

iris_surreal_euphoria · 12-12-2007, 05:57 PM

I found this--- maybe it can provide a quick birthing lesson. I searched it on you tube... It's a normal birth of a kid.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOZD8...eature=related

ARSPSB · 12-12-2007, 06:01 PM

Theres a small bubble sticking out.... is that the baby?

horselady · 12-12-2007, 06:01 PM

We are all standing by to help give support. Just do not pull too hard out, try to pull with contractiion and down towards her feet. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dcandace · 12-12-2007, 06:02 PM

'd say that bubble is the sac starting to come

ARSPSB · 12-12-2007, 06:03 PM

Should I help her or let her be if shes starting to get the sack out?
