I took a picture yesterday as they were all out enjoying the sun! She'll let me do whatever I like to her so I've had a good feel around. Her teats are a lot bigger than the other two girls and now that I've convnced myself I have an imminent birth on my hands I'm sure they're sticking out a bit more too (diagonally rather than pointing downwards). I personally think she looks like she's "bagging up" (encuse horsey terms!). Her tummy is very low compared to the othet two girls.
I know that in horses I would be looking for Muscles on bottom to slacken, udder to drop, for her to start waxing up on her teats and a rise in temperature as well as a potential discharge. Other than checking her for signs of milk and a swollen vulva, are there any more signs?
Also can somebody please let me know what the best lubricant is to have on hand? (am sending my OH to buy it ... ha!)
I have spoken to the vet about provising me with some oxytocin (sp?). Also, the girls are due to be wormed by injection att he end of the month ... should I do daisy or would it be bad for potential babies?
I bet after all the panic she's just fat!
Here she is!
Having a rest!
