Nigerian Dwarf Pregnant?

You also need to check and make sure her milk is flowing.
Often the nipples are plugged, and need to be unblocked

I brought them both inside, and they are doing ok...her milk is flowing and she is cleaning the kid. But she is tired and is laying down, so the kid cant nurse.
She was trying to nurse when the doe was moving around. Also the doe's milk did not fully come in yet.

Heres a pic of the kid before they both came inside

Just keep them confined to a small area so they can't seperate, and they should be fine.

Glad it turned out OK so far!

Did you bounce Mama goat to check if there were any other kids in there? To do that, you stand behind the doe and wrap your arms around her tummy, just before her udder. Lightly lift the doe up. Another kid feels hard, the placenta feels kinda doughy.

Has she passed the placenta yet? Some pass it right away, but taking 2-4 hours is the norm. She'll eat it (instinct) if you don't take it away, which could upset her stomach.

BTW, no wonder she is tired! It could be the camera perspective, but that kid looks quite big!! Congrats on the new little ones!

I did check to see if their was another..i didnt feel anyone in there. She passed the placenta about an hour after she kidded.
Im still worried the kid isnt eatting..i put her on the nipple and she sucks for a secound then loses it and cant find it again.Mom doesnt stand for long so its frustrating!!

Do you have anyone who can help you be an extra set of hands? One person can hold Mama goat still, and the other can guide the kid to the teat. Or you could try milking a bit out of Mama, then trying the kid on a bottle.

Im here by myself during the day. I think im going to try to get the kid to nurse acouple more times and if she doesnt want to then im gonna bottle feed her.hopefully itll get her started.
The kid seems strong, doesnt seem to be weak at all, so maybe she is nursing butnim justing not seeing it.
