My doe is a little over a year. I noticed a few days ago she was looking lethargic and week. I gave her meds and worked her. But she kept looking the same if not worse. I gave her plenty of minerals, salt, baking soda. But no difference. She walks slow and lays down when she eats.
Today I noticed she has bloody thick mucus discharge coming out of her vulva. She never looked or seemed pregnant and her udders never showed signs. She does run with a buck. But again I've never seen him month her or seen any changes in her weight to signal pregnancy.
What could be wrong? I noticed another of my does acting a little weird too now.

I was going to suggest she might be pregnant, but then you updated with that newest photo.... So I think you've got the answer there! Please post photos again when she's done!

I suspect she's got the same "problem" as the first one :)
 
So it was a hard labor, but baby came out a healthy boy. But the downfall is momma wants nothing to do with the baby. I've never dealt with that before.
What do I do?
 
Is this her first time? Sometimes they will reject one if they know they don't have enough milk, but that's with twins. I guess that could be applied with just one kid though? Maybe since her udders didn't show signs of being pregnant. This is just based off research I've done though, I'm obviously no expert.
 
Yes this was her first time. She has absolutely no milk.
I gave the baby about an ounce of colostrum formula.
How often should I feed him and about how much?

As for the colostrum though feed two ounces of colostrum powder per four pounds of body weight. Spit that into two or three feedings for her first 24 hours.
