Hi all! I had one of my first fresheners kid last night--a healthy buckling that presented nose and one hoof first. She got him out quickly, but with a lot of effort! (She made sure we all knew about it, too.) Now that things are starting to tighten up a bit, it looks like she has a tear at the top of her vulva. Has anyone else had a goat tear? Just wondering how worried I should be--if I just need to keep it clean and let it heal up on its own, or if I need to get a vet involved. She is eating well and mothering her baby, up and about.

I've never seen anything more than the tiniest tear -- not even a millimeter or 1/8 inch. It should heal up fine. Some people would recommend a tetanus booster in this situation.
