Any news with Squirt? Absolutely nothing is new with Rosie and it’s depressing 😔

Who is to say that Volt is for sure the sire though? If the vet estimated 4-5 months then it could be possible that Snickers was indeed pregnant when you got her, just very early on? Or the vet estimate could be off too - she could be earlier than he figured, or later I suppose too. So many...

I had the same thoughts cross my mind - he said 4-5 months and it was towards the end of April that they were teasing Volt across the electric fence...unless he was really brave and got to her through the fence 🤷‍♀️

Today Rosie seems and feels really small. It’s almost as though her belly has shrunk overnight - she doesn’t look really wide, not crazy low, she feels thin almost over her spine and in her hind quarters. Her udder feels the biggest I’ve felt it though, but still small. No change to her back...

Yeah that was very uncalled for. But yay, you have your answer with Snickers and you’re going to get a foal from her and your little guy so that’s great news!! Don’t feel stupid at all, I must admit I’m very surprised about Pepper! Who knows, maybe Rosie isn’t even pregnant and we can have a...

Hope you feel better soon!

Oh I so hope the dear old girl isn’t in foal. But like Taz said, if it turns out she is then at least she knows what she’s doing, and she is in good hands. Maybe she’s just being like my pintaloosa and bagging up to join in on the fun!

Lol I thought the same thing, just that “ugh so over the whole thing” look 😅 I definitely agree with the feeling - especially with her coat growing back she looks a certain way until you get your hands on her and then she feels completely different. Nothing new this morning, the wait continues lol

A few small changes tonight - the muscles either side of Rosie’s tail head are becoming softer. Not “jello butt” yet but the squishiest they have been thus far. There seems to be something happening with her udder. It’s somewhat hard to describe but her “bag” area is feeling more swollen almost...

Thank you! Approximate day 326 over here so every day is a step closer :)

Pepper’s belly looks lower to me!

It will happen! I’ve been feeling a bit disheartened recently as nothing much seems to be happening. But, the past few days there have been a lot more movements in Rosie’s belly when she eats. I sort of dismissed it but then this morning there were some really obvious “alien” like movements so...

Please keep us updated, Sandra! It seems these past few weeks have dragged on for years lol Nothing new on the foaling front with Rosie today. She had her hooves trimmed and was an absolute darling, go figure! Our farrier commented on how wide she is now lol

I sure hope you’re right, it feels like she’s never going to foal at this rate. Starting to wonder again if it’s just a food baby 😅 I had a dream last night that I went into the barn and she had a foal that was the exact same size as her, it was lying on the floor then got up and walked over...

When is your vet coming out Pitter Patter? I need some excitement as Rosie isn’t doing anything interesting lol her tiny little bag feels a little bit more swollen but nothing significant (pictures don’t show it, it was just by feel that there was a slight difference).

Yeah I definitely wouldn’t be entertaining the idea of him palpating - to put it into perspective, Rosie is 30 inches and palpation was ruled out instantly. Even if he is pushy, don’t let him do something you’re not comfortable with.

I am - the first feeding I gave to her I didn’t, I just broke them up until they were fully crumbled but since the second feeding I have been soaking them. The hair is growing back way too quickly! I’m going to have to clip an area back there.

How big are Pepper and Snickers again? I personally wouldn’t want the vet going internal - unless he’s a really tiny guy/your girls are large minis, I don’t know how safe that would be? My vet is sort of an average sized woman and she wouldn’t even go in Rosie to clear out the feces for an...

I think Rosie and Pepper look quite similar belly wise, not that that necessarily means much, but still.

I know, as if I wasn’t panicking enough now this gets thrown into the mix! She said they don’t have any on hand but she’s pretty sure the farm store in town does, so at least there’s that. I’ll be going in there tomorrow to get some to be on the safe side. Yes I’m really hoping that it’s more to...
