I can attest to this. Friend had her mini ultrasounded and the vet said "any day now." She foaled 4 months later.

They're little rockstars. Heat doesn't bother them other than just making them sleepy and not wanting to walk until it cools down in the evening.

The root of the tooth was infected so an X-ray couldn't really show it and the outside was fine. Based off the tooth the vet thinks she was dealing with that infection up to a year before I got her. He described it as a rotten egg. :(

Aggie was good this morning. Hates her new fly boots but the flies are awful in socal right now.

The vet does want to do a cushings test though. We'll see.

I was terrified that this might be the case with Aggie. Friend of mine got a brand new horse and after less than 2 weeks of having her had to get the eye pulled. Minis definitely seem to be prone to eye problems.

3 inches were left of hay in her eye and I puss came spurting out. As the day has gone on she's laid down less. Looks like it was a tummy ache. Her legs and feet didn't have anything obvious.

Update. Still waiting on the vet but when I took her out of a stall to see if she wanted to walk she trotted along and seemed to be feeling alright. Can eye pain be that debilitating for them?

To add to this. A month ago Aggie went to San Luis Rey hospital and the CT revealed a severe tooth infection. Tooth was removed and she was given antibiotics for the accompanying sinus infection. Never spiked a temperature and the vet was optimistic we finally found the source of her breathing...

Hello everyone, Yesterday while trying to remove a piece of hay from Aggie's eye, she reared so high she fell over backwards and hit the fence. She hopped right back up and we soon got the hay out. Today her eye looks twice as bad, and now she won't stop laying down. She's interested in food...

So mom lets baby nurse now?

Did mama finally start letting her nurse or has she completely rejected baby?

This time I gave her a bowl of pellets and waited for her to finish half her hay, then gave the antibiotics in 5 minute intervals (and she's far more wary of them). No signs of discomfort and went back to eating. Checking temp twice a day per the vet and temp is good.

She's also taking phenylbuyazone once a day

They're oral timethoprim. She gets 3 tablets. She loves the taste apparently because she took them with no issues last night. She's back to her perky old self this morning and chowing down her hay. I'll give her some pellets too before I give her her next dose today. She gets 3 tablets twice a...

Update, she settled down after gentle walking and started eating again. Friend with a horse one stall over will have the camera on Aggie tonight.

Hello everyone, Today's post should have been about Aggie's successful CT scan and infected tooth removal, but after her first dose of antibiotics after getting home she started acting colicky within minutes. Constant tail swishing and the urge to roll and not stop. She's acting suddenly...

I'm so sorry baby didn't make it.

Praying for mama and baby.

Mares are incredibly good at holding their babies in and driving their humans crazy.
