Do you have any test strips? I have some and can mail them to you.

Sally had that problem in one leg when she was pregnant. It went away after she foaled. Just mentioning it as a curiosity.

Welcome! I'm from Arizona too! Where do you live? I live in Chino Valley which is just north of Prescott.

Wow! Was she so large that she looked pregnant?

A couple weeks ago, we were positive Petunia was pregnant, but now, I just don't know. Her udders have deflated back to nothing, and Hubby can't get any liquid out. He got a maternity stall ready for her. The vet will be coming for Sterling's six-month check-up. I'll have him look at her again...

There is a rescue up here in Chino Valley that has minies and donkeys that are rescued from kill lots. I got my mini horse, Sally, and my mini donkey, Petunia, from there. It's called Now That I'm Safe Equine Rescue. They are on Facebook. We were there visiting yesterday.

I got a better one!

He does actually like kisses. He loves it when I hold his face and kiss him. He really is a love bug.

It does work better when taken at his level!

Thanks all! He is much cuter in person. I wish I could upload a video. He is so animated.

I don't know how I missed this thread! Finn is ADORABLE!!!! Sterling is still shedding his baby fuzz. He is going to be clone of Sally except Sally has more Appy traits. He loves being cuddled and brushed. I need to start halter training him too. He is a very well-behaved boy, and Sally is a...

Her udder is back to being deflated. I don't get it.:oops:

We just checked Petunia again. Hubby says it was easy to get out, and there was a bunch. It was clear, thick, and sticky. She tested about 7.1 on the Maybe Baby test strips, but I have no idea if these work for donkeys. Neither does Maybe Baby :)

Had a little surprise today. Her teats are back to looking like non-preggers teats, but when my husband was checking her, SHE STARTED SQUIRTING MILK! What the heck?

Taz, please post an updated photo of Finn!

She is GORGEOUS!!!! Is she a silver dapple/Appy? She reminds me of my Sally.

Well, Petunia's udder is back to looking like nothing. We were hoping to have a surprise for my sister-in-law, but now I'm back to thinking she may just be fat.

When we brought Sally home from the rescue, her skin was thick and wrinkly. The vet said it was from poor nutrition and would get better with a good diet. She's fine now. Prayers for your little beauty.

Just an update on Sterling: He got his feet trimmed for the second time yesterday and was a very good boy. He is the sweetest thing. I have cute videos of him, but I'm not able to upload them. He's only 3 1/2 months old and is 3/4 the size of Sally. Maybe we have a pony here. :)

Thanks, Taz. I am actually in contact with the people who make the strips. They don't seem to know either :) . It seems like looking at the color of the milk is the ticket, but I won't do that since I don't want to lose any colostrum. Petunia would also need a much bigger bag before she is...
