Is my goat pregnant? She's having lots of discharge & she has milk

[Chicken poppy]

Do you know why she'd have milk if she's not pregnant? Thank you

I am not a expert in goats, nor do i own any. But i have read that it might be due to hormonal inbalance?

Has she kidded before? Some goats never dry completely up. I didn't say she wasn't pregnant. I just said she didn't look pregnant to me. Is the rear udder filling? I mean as you are looking at her from behind and where the udder joins the body.

She never had a baby before she was taken. She never had milk before she was taken. I was told she didn't have a baby but I honestly don't know. Yes there's milk in her udders. Thank you

Can you post a picture of her rear udder? Also, is her udder growing and continuing to fill? If it is growing she is probably pregnant. Just for the record, you don't see much in the way of udder development until the last two months. Since you have no idea when she is due, keep an eye on her tailbone. As she gets close it loosens.

She has lots of hair around her udder but I'll try. I thought it felt fuller today than a couple of days ago but I'm not positive. I think I don't know how to check her tail. I keep hearing about ligaments but I don't feel them? Thank you very much!

I'm having the hardest time trying to get pictures of her udder. I'm just not good at trying to hold the hair back & get the picture. I can just say she's never had milk before & I can feel quite a bit in there. I'll keep trying to get pictures but she won't stand still

See if you can get a picture of the rear udder with her standing normally. Shoot it directly behind her rear and have the camera about udder level. Good luck.

Against my better judgment I will stick my neck out and say she has about a month to go. That opinion is worth every cent you are paying for it.

I will throw this in FYI. On occasion does will come into milk without ever having been bred. They are called precocious milkers. I once saw a Saanen doe that gave a gallon of milk day in and day out for years in spite of the fact that she had never been exposed to a buck. Speaking of bucks, on occasion they will come into milk also. They won't give a lot of milk but enough that they have to be milked out on occasion to prevent mastitis.

Thank you very much. I'll try again after I have some more coffee...

I'm wanting to know if she's definitely pregnant & when she might be due? I've never seen her so sucked in by her hips. She's having lots of discharge & she has milk

I don't know how to add pictures
