If the doe is being milked,dry means (stop milking) at least 1 1/2-2 months before kidding date.This will give her enough reserve for the next lactation.Put all dry does in one compartment,one week before kidding,place her in a seperate kidding pen.This can be predicted by swelling and discharge from the vulva engorgement and waxing of the teats and constant lying down of the doe.Avoid any form of noise in the kidding area.Sometimes it is necessary to help the pregnant doe during kidding,especially to native does bred to pure bucks because the kids are born bigger.DYSTOCIA,or difficult delivery is sometimes a common problem.Be sure that the presentation is right before attempting to pull out the kid.In anterior presentation,both front legs and head are presented and in posterior presentation,both hind limbs come out at the same time.Oversized kids should be pulled out with an even and continous pressure.In difficult cases get a praticing vet.Remember always wash your hands first.
