Is my doe in labor?

[Fields Mountain Farm]

Thanks, hey do you know what i can put on the baby and momma for lice?

You should be able to find something at your farm store or TSC that's safe for both of them. Check lables.
I only had a lice issue once with an adult doe and used a dust from our local farmers co-op call HiYeild. It worked well and would be safe for kids.

You could use permethrin. The application is what I’d be careful of. Nothing on mom’s under belly or face. Nursing & licking him ya know. On her I’d apply it down her spine. On baby I’d apply on belly and legs and back. Mom lickes his bum so I’d advoid that area. Changing bedding or... clean and spray a new area get it prepared and move them if you have room. You can apply permethrin with a squeeze bottle in little dabs. I wouldn’t spray the goats.

Today i noticed momma and baby have some lice. What can i give them that will help that wont harm the baby?

Any old louse powder will work just fine. Put it down the backbone and rub it in. Or you can use one of the injectables or pour ons. None of those should affect the kid. At least they never affected mine.

As for the kids that died in utero, sometimes that just happens. It won't affect future pregnancies.
