Yes.. I did manage to give her some good clean ups through all of this. Washed her udder real well too way up inside. It has been warm so I think it helped to do this. That area on her sides that is directly in front of her udder is swollen, tight and appears to be very painful when I rub it...

Marty, thank you so much. And thanks to this forum and the information I read, I was able to take our pregnant mare off of the fescue as soon as I discovered she was pregnant. I would have never known about the fescue problem. At least I assumed it was fescue in our bottom acres. We then planted...

Husband goes back to work tomorrow! We sure have enjoyed this time together. We are both doing well now. Garden is started, lots of family has visited and more this weekend. We have had lots of time with all the grandchildren. Today, I was up to trotting with Sparkles. She has been getting quite...

I got some close up udder pictures. It looks like irritated chapped skin and the left side is smaller than the right. Oh .. no. so I am not sure what I am dealing with here. She is loosing her hair in patches some on the back. I know that we have bermuda growing out in their 'dry lot' and weeds...

She is happy. But is very itchy and scratching her hair loose. She has become so very easy to handle lately but I think she developed a sore on her udder in the back. It actually looks like a mosquito bite and then her trying to itch it may have caused a small sore. I went out and cleaned it...

Jewel is doing well today. Very happy and active. I am tired and sleep deprived. She shrunk her udder!! It must be from the cooler weather. There are two puffy sides in front of the udder... I am quite sure this is the edema swelling and it must be bothering her very much. Tonight. .. I have to...

Wow.. I am wishing that I would have vaccinated Jewel a month ago or even just 2 weeks ago but I thot that she just might have been too close to foaling. I just don't know enough about it yet but have read that some vaccinations may have caused an abortion or it at least was odd that they...

Oh my.. thats clever. I will try that.

For all the food I mentioned. I have been giving it to her in three different times as I am home to do this right now and I think it is helping her to have it spread out like this.

I sure enjoyed looking at all your pictures today. Your cat isnt afraid of the horses. Cats are so funny.

Jewel is doing very well today but no real change in her udder. She has been rolling a bit.. not a lot.. one or two times that I saw. I just walked her a good bit and brushed her out.. and put her to her night time pen. She is happy and feeling a lot better. It has been very warm here and has...

Oh so very excited about your little filly! Congratulations. I am quite sure Jewel is right behind your Charm. Her udder is almost as big as your gal before she foaled. Wonderful news! So very special. Just loved seeing the mamma with her little baby.

Web cam is not an option for us as we don't have accessible internet to that degree. We only have a verizon account as it is all that is available and even with that .. it would not work for the web cam. We have hard time with skype working well here. At just 2 miles away .. people have the...

Oh.. much better today. We ended up going out very early 'cause we couldnt see her in her yardpen.. we forgot to latch the gate and Sparkles probably lifted it and let Jewel out in her area. Maybe it was best as I am sure Jewel was able to walk more of her discomfort off .. silly horse closed...

well.. guess she is going to be ok. She is still eating her hay.. ate a tiny bit of alfalfa pellets mixed with her probios paste after all. She just may have had a piece of straw stuck in her mouth wrong but I just wasnt sure what she was doing licking her lips for that long. I will keep...

Oh no. Just checked on Jewel for the night. She is acting like she is in a lot of pain. Looks like a colic situation. She has been licking her lips a lot.. for about 10 minutes. She has also been having trouble getting up after laying down lately. I don't think this is labor. Her belly even...

Well.. evidently the clover we have growing out there is ok. I checked it out and it is not the aslike clover type. It is some sort of California Bur clover. Our goats love it and cleaned most of it out of their pen. I went to the little area we plan on putting Jewel and her newborn foal and...

She has been such a sweet horse lately. She has finally decided to completely trust me. She is a nervous horse and will startle easy but that is all different now that she trust me. She comes up to me to have her fly mask on.. She let me clean her udder up and her tail without any issues. Such a...

Just gave her a washrag bath and cleaned her up again.

I've been watching her very closely. Here is Jewel rolling around.
