Also, she did not go into labor last night. She's just having fun with me. She did however choose to lay flat out like this one of the times I checked the camera, so I couldn't see if her eyes were closed sleeping, or if anything was going on behind her either lol!

And that would be my luck 🤣 I told my friend it's a catch 22, because I either assume she has awhile and relax, and she will drop it early (and I may not be around if she were to need help) or I watch her and stay ready, and she will hold it in for another 6 weeks 😂😭

Maiden mare. 302 days from first exposure. Not eating her hay as vigorously but she ate grain and is drinking. Restless. Wringing tail on occasion. Biting and kicking stomach(some scratching as well we are treating for mites from the new straw supplier, yay) pushing her but into the wall and...

I didn't plan for the witch hazel on the wounds, just the bare skin to hopefully keep her from rubbing the skin off there too

Do you have an example of a reverse clip? I can't find one.

Is the spot treatment safe for pregnancy? She is on ivermectin, we aren't doing the double dose for concern for the foal, but she's had 2 doses, third is due Thursday. I thought about trying to put some witch hazel on the bare spots, I have witch hazel pads that they give people postpartum.

Foal kit has been ready to go, no udder yet, but she's a maiden and with my luck she'll be the type to bag up as she's foaling 😂

She is on first cutting grassy hay, with some second cutting(she cleans up what the bottle calves she's in with during the day leave behind from the night) she gets 1c tribute essential K and 1/2-3/4c mare and foal morning and night. Mineral block in her stall at night. She is quite fuzzy, we...

My mare is being treated for mites, but she is scratching so bad she has large patches of hair missing and is creating open sores. I don't know what to do to help with the itching, and it's complicated by the fact that she is roughly 302 days pregnant. Part of me wants to clip and blanket but I...

She is 10 or 11.

Oh, well that just added to my insomnia 😂 no baby last night. We are at 300 days from first exposure. So 🤞 baby is safe if she does decide to drop a foal.

Right! Last night she was giving so many signs. Tonight she's cleaned up her hay and is already dozing off. Which almost makes me more suspicious haha!

Thank you! I've been telling the baby during the daily belly hugs, to make sure it has strong lungs and is really ready when it comes, but also take it easy on momma and get those legs and head in the right position haha. I'm anxious, but excited and just praying it goes smooth for them, and...

If it matters and you haven't seen my previous posts, she's a maiden. So I'm not expecting a huge bag, or a big dip in her belly and I have no history of her usual foaling date. That would make things far too easy on me haha!

Me again. We are day 299 from her first day of exposure(pasture bred). I believe I read the safe date for minis is 300 days? Last night she decided we are going to enter the oh so fun phase of 'stage 1 of labor or just uncomfortable from baby moving around?'😭 She is slowly starting to bag, and...

Also, just a warning, it's only been one night, but I was checking it all the time 😂 I went to the grocery store after I did evening chores and put her in for the night and I'm walking through the store watching her eat her hay 😂😂

I got it on Amazon. So far it's been really nice, you can set it to run continuous, motion detection, or just when you pull it up on your phone. Zoom and panning, night vision or you can turn on lights on the camera itself, and its solar powered. This is the link. You can share the feed but they...

It has a data plan off a cell network, so I activate a SIM card and put it in. I went ahead and put it up today, right before my son's steer jumped 2 fences and was running around, which got my mare running and she slipped and fell, so now I'm paranoid something's going to go wrong and happy the...

Unfortunately, no. It's not super expensive, i was just hoping she'll foal within 30 days of me putting it up, so I only pay for one month, but that likely means she will drop it one day after I have to pay for the next months data 😂

My surprise bogo mare is 294 days from the date she was put in with the stud(6 week window). When my vet did a confirmation ultrasound he believes she took earlier in that window than later. So I'm basing it all on the first day she went in just to be safe. I have started bringing her in at...
