Can I say a huge thank you to you all for your support, last night I was for giving up all my animals I was so down. Between you and the lovely vet who attended to Gobo I don't feel quite so useless.
Petal is looking very like kidding in the next 24 hours, when the vet was here to check gobo this morning  he says that he is on call for the next few nights so if I am at all worried just to call and he will come straight out.
We have already decided that we will keep whatever kids Petal has and will not breed again, I bought them for my grandchildren and they were terribly upset last night and are now very worried about Petal.

Please don't beat yourself up - it is most likely that the kid had died in-utero, and that was causing the malpresentation plus the long (and intermittent) labour, as dead kid cannot "help" in the coming out process. There is not much you can do in this case. Let's hope the nanny makes a good recovery, and maybe you will try and breed again in a couple of years.

  that Petal is doing fine.

Never say never. It really wasn't your fault. It was just one of those things. But I can see where you're coming from. After my last kidding which took all day, I am now very nervous that this time will be the same. No logic there - it's not even the same goat - but that's how we're made.
