Mama goat- new babies- is this normal

[Eckielady]

So we had baby goats 4 days ago. Mama lost the afterbirth and everyone seems to be doing really well. Today mama has some bloody discharge again. Her tail is wet with it. Is this normal? It's not red dripping blood and I'll attach a photo so beware. She was hunched down peeing so don't worry about her stance.

I think a vet visit is in order, better safe than sorry

Does will have a bloody discharge for some time after kidding. The discharge is called lochia (sp) and it is just the uterus cleaning out.

It should just be the normal flushing process, but if your goat starts to act strange, or has excessive bleeding, go to a vet ASAP

Thanks all. Just wanted to make sure it was normal as I'm not the "just in case" type. We're keeping an eye on her but so far she's acting normal. Just ansy because she wants out of her pen.
