As with calving, the young of the goat may be in an abnormal position and the birth is difficult.If you want to help you will need a bar of soap and clean water.<\/p>\n
Scrub your hands and fingernails then wash the area around the vagina.Soap your hands well and insert one hand into the vagina.<\/p>\n
When you have found what, the problem is, correct the position of the young so it can be born.<\/p>\n
Carefully feeling for the leg joints will tell you which way round the young is.<\/p>\n
You can hold the head but do not pull the young by the jawbone as the bone will break.<\/p>\n
You can use a clean rope tied around a leg above the fetlock joint to pull.Pull in a downwards direction as the mother strains.<\/p>\n
If there are twins or triplets in the uterus you will have difficulty sorting out which legs belong to which one.<\/p>\n
Try to pull out the one nearest the vagina first.A newborn animal should try to breathe immediately after it is born, if it does not breathe you can put a straw into a nostril (nose) to stimulate breathing.<\/p>\n
If you hold it by the back legs and swing it gently back and forth, any mucous blocking the mouth and lungs will be forced out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
