Does she act like she is "pushing" to give birth ? The problem could be serious. The kid could be turned around in the birth canal, or it could be dead inside her. If you can put some lubricant on your hand and feel inside her a little way , you may be able to tell. Persomally I would call a veterinarian because if either is going on, it is serious and she could die if she is laboring this long.

no she hasnt been pushing but yesterday and today she did not eat her food when she usually has her head in the bucket before u reach the trough. her belly also seems to have dropped lower could it just be that she got ready too early? an I have felt the kid kicking so I know that it is alive. also could she be stalling the birth becuase a buck is near by? thank you
