Is she having trouble kidding

[cassie]

The things I mentioned should take place in a matter of hours, not days. Do you have a goaty friend who could do a quick exam and see if she is dilated? If not, having her checked by a vet might be a good idea.

I'd have a vet out for the limp. If it were my goat I'd also get up there and see what you feel as far as dilation. I don't know how comfortable you are with doing that (I've delivered lambs before and been up to my elbows in sheep birth so it really doesn't bug me a bit..). If you are not comfortable getting in there as it were, I'd have the vet check her labor progress as well for you.

Ok thank you I'll see what the vet says and go from there

Yes I do if she can't come then I will call the vet

Thank you all for your help.
the vet came by yesterday and checked her he said she's just starting to dilate but she has twins and he said as they are trying to get in position they keep hitting a nerve which is why she's limping. But he said she should be fine. Again thanks for your help.
