Care of Pregnant Doe

On October 19th at approximately 5:00 p.m. the kids of Michelle were born. Michelle displayed many signs that she was about to give birth. Goats usually pace around the stall and will act like they are about to urinate when nothing comes out. Also, there is white vaginal discharge that will accumulate. The goat also will breathe faster in and out and grunts when contractions occur. It is important to give the pregnant doe a good mixed grain so she can provide nutritious milk for the kid. The pregnant doe should also get grain that is about 12% protein. Also, make sure there is plenty of water in the stall as well. It is important before the goat gives birth to vaccinate them with a tetanus shot.
