So the first issue I posted about here was my does fighting my buck and you all gave good advice on that. Then I posted with concerns of whether or not mating occurred and I got good advice there too. Now my latest issue...
The vet was here a couple weeks ago so I had him draw blood to preg test. He couldn't feel anything by bumping them. One was looking a little more rounded on her right side and is developing a nice udder. I was feeling pretty confident that she may be pregnant. The other two are skinny as can be with no udder development. I wasn't too confident that they'd been bred. You can see where this is going can't you?
Results came back today - preg-looking goat is open, skinny goats were successfully bred. BioPryn test open goat OD was .045, pregnant goats were .6869 and .7596. Anything over .21 is positive.
What is going on here? Any thoughts?
(If I don't respond right away its because I'm at work and will read tonight)

I'm not sure "what's going on" but if the pregnant ones are skinny, you need to gradually increase their feed in order to avoid Pregnancy Toxemia
