Doris is imminent and I can't be there
« on: April 21, 2012, 08:57:37 am »
 :-[ :(

Hi all, after carefully planning work as best as I could around my girls dates, It's all gone wrong!

Doris lost her mucus plug thingy Thursday evening, ridged up yesterday and this morning has an udder as tight as a very tight thing! She's had a little bit of breakfast, but not much so I think it's going to be today, unfortunately I have to be at work till 5 :-[ :-[
Hubby is doing checks for me and will pop down a bit before lunch but he is the first to admit he won't know what to do if anything isn't right.
Given the description what do you guys think? popping today or will she hold out till this evening?
I'm sure she will be fine even if I am not there, but I do worry so!
After this I don't go back to work till nest Thursday for 3 days then off for nearly 3 weeks!
Come on Doris, cross your legs for a bit longer!

I do hope it is today as the weather is so lovely, but I hate not being around for the 'just in case'. Oh well hubby has Mr Vets number if anything should go wrong.
Thankies x

Chances are sometime today but I find early morning and evening are the most common times to lamb/kid so she might well hang on for you to come home  :)

YAY!!
Apparently she is looking exactly the same as this morning when I was there, so she's not started pawing the ground or anything yet :thumbsup:

I think she's hanging on for you too  ;) (not that I know much about goats)
My wee Kunekune, Adelaide waits for me  ::) One night Bruce had been up doing the hourly check and hung around a bit as she looked ready to pop, after an hour he came back and I went up - 10 minutes later we had 2 piglets. Animals eh ?!! Hope all goes well once you're home, and we want to see the photo's too  :thumbsup:

I think you might be right, as she apparenently keeps pawing, circling, lying down and then geting up and looking out of the gate!
Still only half an hour to go and I shall be there :love: :love:

Anyone else getting excited?  I'm on tenterhooks like I was with my own and she slipped two out in between half-hourly checks.  One minute nothing doing, then as she heard me go back in for a cuppa...

Hope to see good news about Doris soon!
