It can be scary for a goat owner to see something bulging from the vulva of a pregnant goat days or even weeks before the doe is due.
In today's episode, we are talking to Dr. Jamie Stewart, Assistant Professor at Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine, about what causes vaginal prolapses, the different levels of vaginal prolapse in goats, when to use a prolapse retainer, and when to call the vet.
Dr. Stewart also talks about the difference between a vaginal prolapse and a uterine prolapse, including when you can wait and watch — and when you have an emergency situation.
And finally, we talk about the genetics involved and when it's a good idea to stop breeding a doe.
