Thanks for responding Dalice. This evening I finally saw the 2 doelings nursing, whew, sigh of relief, however now a problem with mom...She was down and didn't want to get up when I got here,hubby was finally able to get her up but we noticed a pool of diarrhea and a couple of smaller puddles of more placenta(spelling),She is not eating either and she was eating fine yesterday. She stands around kinda strained or awkward off and on.Still seeping discharge ,noticed it when she urinated She dosen't look as though she feels well. Could she still be passing afterbirth considering that she kidded on Wednesday??? Is it possible that there is something more serious wrong internally?? This was her first time to kid, or does that matter? We wormed her yesterday, surely that wasn't a mistake , was it? Sorry to be such a bother but I feel kinda helpless, no goat vets or goat knowledgable farmers in our area at all..No one to turn to except the nice people here at goatworld. She is a boer cross, I believe 50%boer and 50% fainter,her service billy is a kiko. I would assume none of that matters but I don't want to leave anything out that might help with getting a good response. Any ideas? Thanks, Gloria
