is she going to have a kid?

[d1]

what do you think?

I think she looks more like she just kidded than is going to have one. She's awfully thin in the back to be pregnant, and the discharge looks like my doe the week after kidding. How long have you had her? Any background info?

auction buy saturday and just since then her stomach has swollen and gotten hard and I THINK I can fell a few knots that seem to move

here are the ones taken sat.

Hmmmmm, really hard to say. I don't see much difference. She could have kidded before and then wound up at auction and they have kept the bottle baby. Look on both of her sides and see if there is movement on BOTH sides. One side is just activity in the rumen and the other indicates kid movement...I can never remember which is rumen

ALSO, I'd get that girl on some good hay ASAP, she looks rather thin, ESPECIALLY if she is pregnant! Do you know how to check her ligs? If so, do that also. For more info than I can remember you could check out Fias Co Farm here http://fiascofarm.com/goats/index.htm they have TONS of information that I have personally found to be a lifesaver!

thanks for the help. I am keeping hay,goat pellets and plenty of graze in front of her and she has been wormed and keeping some minerals(supplements) out for her.

Well that's about all ya can do with no more background info than you have. Bless her heart...I kind of hope she's not being so thin already, it would be hard for her and the baby. Good luck with her and I hope she likes her new home.

The rumen is on the left.

If you want to be sure about pregnancy, take a blood test and send it to BioTracking (the test is cheap!).

There is the pooch test...

Take a picture of her rear with the tail up

That was my first impression also. I beat she was a cull. Her udder seems kind of poor. Just watch that it does get too detached and she steps on it.
