    Are Contractions Always Obvious?

    This is new, but she doesn't lay like this for long.

    Are Contractions Always Obvious?

    Sorry about the dumb question. I am watching Sally on a baby monitor. The vet said to call when I see contractions (he only lives ten minutes away). Tonight, she has been laying flat out a lot. This is new for her. She usually has her head up and front legs tucked under. Yesterday morning, her...

    Ready Now?

    Just fed lunch; she only wants the alfalfa, not the senior or Bermuda/alfalfa cubes. Her milk ph was 6.2 and was very easy to express. Her vulva color has not changed, poop not too loose, tail still working, but her sides are jello. She sure is cranky. Lots of up and down, yawning, hitting sides...

    Ready Now?

    Sally tested 6.4 last evening on Maybe Baby. She was very antsy last night: lots of yawning, walking around, getting up and down, and rubbing on walls. She is also breathing more heavy than normal. S She is not eating this morning, which is a first for her. I sent this picture to our vet, and he...

    Very uneventful day. Her milk is definitely testing lower. It is definitely a 6.4 now.

    Advise please on older broodmare

    Or for crying in the soup, it didn't even look like that second picture had loaded. Sorry. Again.

    Oh my goodness! Sally acted like that the other night, then . . . nothing. She tested at 6.4 around noon, has jello butt, bags seem full and hard, but all she's doing is standing around, then takes a bite of food. I even think she's a little wider again now. I'm a nervous wreck from reading...

    She’s here!

    I know this was two years ago, but if you're still here, could you please tell me what color is the mom, and what color is the baby now. So beautiful!

    Just tested 6.4! Had a peaceful night. Her bags are big and hard. All she wants to do is eat.

    Just went out to check Sally's milk. She has bagged up quite a bit. Can even see the bags from the back. Her milk on Maybe Baby tested at 6.8.

    Couple Questions Re Mini Foaling

    I already have Banamine. We had a horse who colicked every 3 weeks who turned out to have ovarian cancer. She had surgery, and praise God she's fine! I'm sure I can find some vasaline but have no idea how old it is. I have spray vetricin. Wonder if that would work mixed with vasaline. Praying I...

    Couple Questions Re Mini Foaling

    I've done the same thing with a foaling kit! Every time I add something, it gets listed on the tub.

    Couple Questions Re Mini Foaling

    Now I'm getting concerned. Last night, I really thought Sally was in stage 1 of labor. Tonight, she is very quiet. Is this normal?

    Couple Questions Re Mini Foaling

    Oh, and we use that gate to feed our big guys. Hubby said he will use plywood to block off the escape route if the little thing ever gets here. Thanks Taz! All pretty quiet today: standing, rubbing on walls, lots of tail being held up and swished, lots of meadow muffin poops, and eating well...

    Yes, I'm sure you're right! It would just get into another pasture; she couldn't escape the property. Thanks!!!!! I'm a worrier too!!!
