Dewlap shrinking

[sarmeda]

We have a doe that may be pregnant. She has beenripping out hair and making a nest. Her dewlap seems much smaller. Isthis a symptom of being pregnant? If she is, she is due in a few days.

One of the reasons for having a Dewlap is toprovide Fur for nesting material. They also pull fur from their Belly,rump and sides. Some Does practically denude themselves in the act ofnest building. Not to worry, it will grow back. Best of luckwith the coming offspring.
