    Do all mares produce milk before foaling?

    Here are some pictures from today of her teats and bad end. Anyone think it's soon? I need to be gone for a day, and I'm thinking of going tomorrow. Do you think I'm safe to be gone for the day?

    Do all mares produce milk before foaling?

    The vet estimated her to be about ten years old. The vet said "within a month." My hubby and I are experienced with horses; we just have zero experience with babies. She was pregnant when we got her. The rescue saved her from being zoo food. :( And yes, she is very sweet. Here are a couple...

    Do all mares produce milk before foaling?

    Hello again! I am SO BLESSED to have found this forum! Our little girl, Sally, who we adopted from a rescue when she was already preggers, does not have any milk that we can express even though she is pretty baggged up. Our vet examined her on 4/14 and said we should have a baby within a month...

    Hello From N. Arizona

    He comes to back door about 4:30 every afternoon to be let in for the night. He sleeps in a Great Dane crate in the living room until it gets warm enough for him to sleep outside. I had no idea that tortoises could be so personable!

If all that fluff doesn't shed out, we will clip her when it gets warmer. :)...

    That is sweet of you to say. We think she is kind of rough looking :) We chose her for her sweet personality for our little backyard petting zoo.

    Thank you so much for your reply! No, we haven't been able to get any milk out, but dang, she is bagging up fast!

    New to This and Foaling Soon

    Good morning! My husband and I adopted a mini horse who had been on her way to becoming zoo food. The rescue told us that she was pregnant, and that when she arrived at the rescue, she was skin and bones. She is not so thin anymore, but her skin is thick. The vet said that was because she had...
