Pregnant doe with bloody discharge

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Dairygoats : One Thread

I am a new goat owner and I am concerned about one of my pregnant does. I think she is due March 9th or so. She is a pygmy that I took on my farm kind of as a rescue she is 3 years old and had never been bred before. I bred her this fall to my Nigerian Buck and all has been well. Today I noticed a drop or two of blood in my barn. After searching I found that she had slightly blood tinged mucus coming from her vulva. I have heard about the mucus, but always white or yellow, never heard anything about blood. How concerned should I be. She was never too social but also she has been hiding under a table alot lately and I just dont know what to think. Please help I would hate to loose her or her kids! Thanks So Much Christina
