This document provides information on diagnosing and treating dystocia, or difficult birth, in goats. It describes various abnormal birthing positions including forelegs flexed, one leg retained, head turned to side, breech presentation, and upside down presentation. Treatment may involve pushing or pulling legs and head into proper alignment, using an OB snare, or in severe cases performing a fetotomy or C-section. Proper nutrition, rest, and avoiding stress during pregnancy can help prevent dystocia.
