I hope to have enough time this weekend to again try to figure out how to monitor out there. Very frustrating. I think it is too far for baby monitors but will be on the lookout for one that could work. Already wasted so much money on a camera system I can't use apparently. Otherwise I will be...

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time! I can really picture it, being a former wildlife rehabber with squirrels.

Taz, thank you very much for calming my nerves! Don't worry. I wouldn't even think of taking Snickers anywhere near the house! She wouldn't handle it well. Not even so sure about Volt now as he has gotten much stronger and more opinionated (although it worked well when he was down). When do you...

Snickers is getting closer...Last night she had difficulty clamping her tail down when I checked her. Flanks have hollowed and baby is riding lower now. No further changes in udder, and still not knowing how or even IF the acorn fiasco is going to affect her bagging up. Her back end has not...

My mini mare is definitely pregnant and is huge now but for months I wasn't even sure. Do not feel bad for posting pictures--I think it's great to get other experienced opinions. My vet is all but useless lately and I post tons of photos, seemingly always desperate for help :) The people on...

Maybe!

Thanks for the picture encouragement! LOL. Volt is doing much better and getting stronger every day. Getting back to being a bit sassy again so I'm happy! He still has a way to go and needs more weight but he's getting there slowly. He's such a picky little thing and just nibbles away while the...

And again I messed up. Sorry everyone. I did get an udder shot but she's so hairy couldn't see much of anything but hair!

Here was Snickers last night......

Wow. Her shape, etc remind me of my large mini. She is pregnant, although we don't know how far along. Been a guessing game and everyone here has been so helpful. Stop the fescue. All I know is it is bad for mom, baby, milk. We just found an aborted fetus and didn't know mini was pregnant (vet...

Oh Taz! I am glad you worry! Glad to know I am not the only one! She can go in the other side of the shed at any time. Trying to time it right so Volt gets stronger before baby comes. She will then get his "convalescent stall" (which is half the shed). That stall is bigger than my bedroom :)...

Yup, she sure is a wide load these days, but nothing could make me happier at the moment...knowing her baby is still alive and Volt is slowly improving. Now to keep this good luck momentum! Do you think she has at least one month left?

Here are my most recent pics of Snickers. What do you all think? How far along would you guess?

Thank you for the kind words and help! Volt was still standing from last night (or he was able to get himself up if he did lay down)! He is getting stronger but it's a long battle. He's outside with the girls for a couple of hours this morning. The last couple of days have been sunny and over...

That's incredible to me that a powder will do this. Does the 100 mean calories per serving? I sure hope something helps. It's heartbreaking to have to go pick him up off the ground or the floor. He's standing for longer periods and I wanted to walk him a little last night but everything is so...

Thanks for everyone's kind words. Yes, I think we are probably leaning towards it being Pepper's foal we lost. I really believe Snickers is still pregnant. I can put my hands on her belly now. Yesterday evening I am very sure I felt the little bugger kicking where my hand was! She is getting...

My family and I have been tossing this around for a couple of days and our best theory is the aborted foal probably came from Pepper as she had a huge belly and it went down pretty fast. Vet palpated her when he checked Snickers as well. He said she wasn't pregnant but she was huge. I then...

Sorry I have been off line for a bit. It's been a very rough several days. My stallion, Volt, went down and looked like the 25 year old mini mare I lost at the end of October. Despite numerous vet visits and diet changes nothing was working. Vet said should put him down, but he has so much life...

Poppy looks so sweet! Welcome to the group!

Mine usually only have this problem when their hooves are growing out (just before farrier visit). If kept trimmed regularly it will still happen, just not as much. I've used warm water too. Never thought of the cooking spray! Great idea! Too chicken to use a hammer, but have dug them out with...
