Well y’all I hope everyone is having a good Sunday.
Today I went out and my goat, 8 years old, had some white stuff coming out of her bits and was a little swollen. Figured she’s in heat. Then my mom noticed she’s pretty bagged up. I’ve noticed her udder was a little bit lately, but nothing much. I got a decent look a few minutes ago and noticed wide orrifices too. A little bit later she was stretching and rocking her hips. Now she’s laying down with her neck back grinding her teeth. Then sitting up and breathing heavily, it is hot. As a bonus this is my normally friendly goat, she loves scratches, but yesterday and today she want to be near me but won’t stand me touching her. She’s not too fat, but last time she had a baby she hardly looked pregnant and popped out a huge kid.
Here’s where it gets odd. She’s not been around a billy in 6 or 7 years and I don’t even think my neighbor has a billy. This girl hasn’t escaped or anything to mention either.
Am I just nuts, or does this sound like labor?
