HELP! Goat got into Chicken Grower/finisher and possibly in labor OR Bloat?

Oh wow, just watched that "what not to do" video. I can't believe they didn't break that sack, that poor baby was trying to so hard. I know some folks don't like to help but goodness!

Okay, so now I have FIVE towels and am sitting eagerly. I wish I had a camera. I'm watching her out my window.. She's wanting to go into small spaces, places with corners and walls to lean on, but it's stopping her from rolling completely on her side to push easier.

ARUGH THIS IS SO SUSPENSEFULLLL

>_<

 

[Icedangel11]

Contractions (I think. She'll curle her lip and poop) are roughly 20-30 minutes apart now.

Once she's down and pushing she wont try and run away from me, will she?

 

[Icedangel11]

Mkay, sorry about posting in a row, but I'm adding as I see. I'm watching through the window. She's starting to roll on her side, then get up again. Tails flailing a lot and she's kicking at her udder/belly from time to time.

Then she got on her front knees to eat grass for a while, then got up and ran away tossing her head with a small kick.

She is really putting you through the paces, lol. What I would do, and it's the hardest thing to do, is don't even look at her for 30 minutes. You'll make yourself go crazy, trust me, been there, lol. Most goats move around alot when they are kidding. There are some that just lay down and get it done, but most are up and down, even between kids. I don't know if she will run away from you or not. Like was said already, most times if you have a skiddish doe, if you let her lick some birth goo off you, she will be much less skiddish.
There is also a chance she is just moving babies into position. Has she started nesting yet? (Pawing at the ground)

 

[Icedangel11]

Yeah, she was pawing last night and on occasion she'll do it now.

I went to peak outside again and she was at the door peeking at me! SHE'S ONTO MY WINDOW WATCHING!

 

[Icedangel11]

OKAY, THIRTY MINUTES IS UP. RIGHT?

Oh. It's only been five minutes.

On the upside I've found my camera! So baby pictures! Hopefully soon!

HAHAHA

Now she knows! For all practical purposes, your doe seems to be in pre-labor. I don't know what stage without actually being there, lol.
If she hasn't kidded before bed time, I would get up a few times tonight and check on her (unless she just doesn't seem to be planning to have them tonight) .
But I also over analyze things, lol. At this point it's just watch and wait!

 

[Icedangel11]

*SIGHS* has it been 30 minutes yet? Do I have my new Goat babies yet?

It doesn't help I have a momma goat here (kidded off property before I got her) whose being LOUD and obnoxious. Calling an calling. So I can't hear if it's here or Tea making sounds.

 

[Icedangel11]

ARGH. That's it. I'm not gonna make it through the night without some chocolate.

It's getting dark, should I move her to the barn?
