Contredanse Kidding with twins
   
This is Contredanse entering a contraction (left), watch her tail in
these photos. Her tail arches out away from her body when not having a
contraction. As a contraction approaches it goes up and then curves up
over her back. Some does show these signs, others do not. Right you can
see her getting ready to have a contraction sitting like a dog.
  
Now we have a bubble. Most times a bubble will precede the first kid.
The bubble will normally rupture on its own. I often break the bubble.
This does not hurt the doe or kid, all it does is make it easier for me
to see what's coming when the kid is coming out of the birth canal.
After the bubble bursts it often can have nothing or it may have a long
stream of goop like the photo to the far right. This means a baby is
coming! Sometimes you'll see feet or other parts of the kid. There can
be a couple bubbles before the actual kid comes.
More photos to come when I have another doe deliver
and happen to have the camera handy.
