I think she was actually nosing around and smelling the milk. I think most of the herd can actually sense that she's close, because I had to the sire of the unborn foal in with the mares to work with him (he is gelded now) and he walked passed the mares in flaming heat and went straight to her...

A few updates today. 1. She did not eat all of her hay last night, which is new since before hand she would leave it empty. 2. Her milk is FINALLY cloudier. The picture makes it seem like its not, but trust me it is. 3. My 5 year old filly who is attached to this mare's hip, first thing when...

Dose her again. That's what I would do. Or even talk to your vet about keeping some doses on hand if more of these instances happen.

Still the same tonight. Hoping it changes soon. :/

No. No I don't. lmao

Went down to see her today after having an unsettling dream about her that had nothing to do with her pregnancy. (I actually had a dream that she got lost in a blizzard and I had to find her.) Ol' well. She's fine. VERY grumpy, out of character for her. She swatted her tail at me when I was...

Bow is 314 days today. I have prepped her stall and wrapped/braided her tail since she's been itching it like crazy and has ripped chunks of it out. She is very uncomfortable, evident from her constantly switching the feet she rests on, the itching, deep sighing, and looking back at her sides...

I'll post pictures when I have access to a laptop. Her milk hasn't changed, still a thick, yellow color. The taste has changed a bit. Its not bland, salty, or sweet but it has a flavor that I can't pinpoint. It seems to be trying to get to sweet.

-Sigh- Still no changes with her milk.

I would honestly rather she went on a weekend, versus the week where I'm at work or my college classes. She is free to go anytime Friday-Monday. lol.

I won't see her again until Saturday, but my parents are keeping an eye on her for me so if her milk changes, I'll be home in less than an hour. lol

She has also been rubbing her tail like crazy since I've been out to chore. Doesn't that have to do with something?

We're finally getting somewhere guys. Her belly dropped, her croup is pointy, she has no hindend whatsoever, etc. The only thing left is her milk. I'm going to post comparisons to the other day, side by side. Side view: -310 days: -312 days: Rear View: -310 days: -312 days:

I'm glad you guys see something in her. Maybe its because I look at her everyday and take her picture, I just don't notice it. I just love the way she looks. She's been keeping herself away from everything for about a week or so now. She has access to pasture, but more often than not, I find...

Thank you. We haven't made much progress, but I think her milk is going to start turning. The taste, anyway, has turned from salty to bland, since Monday. Not much of an update, but its a minor improvement. Here's a picture from yesterday, 310 days.

I know how how pH test mare's based on the 0-14 pH scale, but my mom brought home these pH test strips that are from 0-500 PPM (parts per million) Any clue how to use these? I've tried to find calculators online to no avail and have only found a whole bunch of formulas that require way too much...

I've been looking through past threads for her 2011/2010 pregnancies and this is how she developed. 2011 pregnancy: -streaming yellow,clear, sticky milk 19th April 2011, salty taste -23rd, April 2011, bland milk -24th April 2011, streaming cloudy, SWEET taste -6.2 PH test 29th April 2011...

I figured. I was just very pleasantly surprised that her foal was kicking like crazy, the most I had felt the entire time. Before I had at most, been able to feel a couple kicks but on Saturday it was constant kicking.

It looks like you need a new farrier that will actually do a decent trim.

Here are the pictures from yesterday. Called home and her milk is the same as it was. I'm still hoping that we'll be able to hit at least 320 days. Right now we're at 308 days.
