The side view is from Feb 29 she's been that way for a bit now. I'm pretty sure she read the foaling signs handbook and is using it to mess with me 😂 Dropping 30°F and rain tonight so who knows!

She's still holding on! Loose in the back, very loose vulva that even stays open at times, V shaped belly, but no bag(though I can feel firm blobs when I palpate). We are at 323 days. Today she is low but also wide.

I purchased one from Amazon that has a SIM card and runs off cell tower data. It is a monthly fee, but it's $14.99 for a certain amount of data which typically lasts a month. I check my camera every 2 hours at night for about 3-5 mins each time, unless she's sleeping. And have been for over 30...

No udder and nothing expressed yet. I think she's just having a lot of fun with me. 😂 I swear she holds all her poop in during the day, just to let it loose in the stall overnight lol! She had a much different attitude this morning, I went to check her udder as I was brushing, per our routine...

Thank you! I'm just praying it all goes smooth, and trying to prepare for every way it could go wrong!

I just misread at first.

Sorry I read buy frozen colostrum from other animals not for other animals.

Unfortunately my vet isn't a repro vet so I'm not sure he has access to plasma. There is a repro vet from downstate who did a PPE recently on my warmblood for sale, and I was able to purchase an IGG test from him. He stated if the foal failed he keeps frozen plasma on hand. I will try to look...

She is currently a little sleeping potato, so I'll be getting an hour or two of rest before I check the camera again. She ate her hay and grain with her normal gusto. I have started to wonder if she won't be one to eat right up to labor haha!

We don't have an exact cover date, my vet said she would have taken earlier in the time she was with the stud, and she was in heat when she went in so I'm going off the first date of exposure, 4/16/23 just to be ready. I know she could have a long ways to go yet as well. I have nothing to go off...

I asked my husband he said the lawn should not, if it did it would be very minute amounts of creeping red. Hay fields do not contain fescue either. I purchased her while pregnant(surprise) and I cannot say if she had it prior to me getting her, at the end of July.

Not to my knowledge. The pasture is a pasture mix not containing fescue. I'm not sure if our lawn does, but if it does it would have been a very small amount(a few nibbles) and months ago.

311 days. Discharge has stopped. Vulva is staying open a tiny bit at the bottoms sometimes and opens up when she brings her leg forward to scratch so I'd say she's pretty loose back there 🤣 Belly has a definite V shape, less belly sticking out from front and back view, and baby has been very...

Update, when I initially posted this she was acting early labor-y in the pasture so I brought her into her stall, and she shut down. All yesterday her croup was firmer than it had been in weeks, her vulva scrunched back up, and she slept most of last night (which would have been so nice to join...

I texted his wife, we are all friends, but he hates texting haha. He's not a repro vet, though he has handled foalings. Most times he thinks I over worry 🤣

No temp, but she definitely has more of an attitude last night and this morning. She's usually very well mannered and she was getting sassy over her grain, and not wanting her usual routine of being brushed and checked over while eating.

No smell. No discharge today, and her ligaments in the rear seem less loose than they have been in over a week. She was acting laborish in her pasture yesterday and I brought her in, and I'm wondering if that caused her to stop labor. If they do that, will the muscles around the croup tighten...

Her vulva is definitely the longest/loosest I've seen it. She pulled her hind leg up to scratch and it was opening up. So I assume it's pretty loose back there. 😂 And still no bag but definitely puffing up by feel at least.

My mare is roughly 306 days. She's been having some red tinged discharge on her vulva the last couple days. This morning was pretty red, though her vulva was not as relaxed as I've seen it some other days. I can post photos if requested, and allowed. Is this normal? Sign of foaling soon? Or is...

I would be ok if she foaled on her own and everything went right, I'm just worried about red bag, or the sac not breaking and losing an otherwise healthy foal because I wasn't there.
