    Calling goat experts! Need opinion!

    What correct nutrients would those be? Pregnant or not she needs all the hay she can eat and I gave all my growing doelings some grain. I didn't read the original post as closely as I should have and I thought she was a lot farther along than she is. If the OP wants to get an ultrasound she...

    You are right, but if this goat continues to develop an udder the OP is going to know she is pregnant, ultrasound or not. In fact I think she will have a pretty good idea in the next couple weeks or so.

    By the time a kidding kit is needed, it will be very clear she is pregnant. The other things you mentioned are true whether the doeling is pregnant or not.

    Just a comment. While it may be possible to get an ultrasound done. there really isn't much point in doing so other than to satisfy curiosity Either she is pregnant or she isn't and at this point there is nothing to be done about it one way or the other.

    Look. Either she is pregnant or she isn't. I am betting she is. In any event there isn't a lot you can do about it at this point. If it makes you feel any better I once had a kid get bred at three months. I'm not proud of it but it happened, I named the baby Yoletta's Surprise because...
