Thanks guys so much for answering me. I think I will pick up some propylene glycol today (if I can find it..keep fingers crossed)and give it to her just in case.
You may be right about those babies just taking up so much room. She seems very uncomfortable. I was sitting on the back porch yesterday, and watched her get up which took forever..and she moved around a little..then went back to the same spot in front of the gates and "tried" to lay down again..I say tried...because it is more of a struggle for her to get down, than up.
I am thinking about going out and hand feeding her a few times a day, she seems to take feed out of my hand alot more willingly than to get up to the feed bin..maybe she is just so uncomfortable and she cannot stand up that long..Of course there is hay and minerals out there for them free choice, and fresh water.
Thank you so much for your help..I am a nervous wreck..and I hope she is ready to kid real soon..I will keep everyone posted..
