I have a young pigmy goat who had her first kid a little over two weeks ago.  The kid was early so it did not survive.  The vet checked the mom and said that she cleaned up well and is okay.  This morning when I went out she had a bloody mucusy discharge.  Should I get concerned or is that part of the birthing process?  My concern is that it is so late after the birth.  This was my first experience with birthing so I need some advice from those of you who are experienced.

THanks

That is very normal.  There is usually discharge right after the birth, then clean for two weeks and then some more discharge.  The time to worry is if the discharge is continual or foul-smelling.
