    Excessive weight gain in mare?!

    Oh, wow, okay. I will raise her food back up to what Ive been giving her before all this. I will try to post those pictures in the marestare forum today. She was winking, though, and I think thats a sign that shes in her heat cycle. If she was pregnant, would she still do this? I'll post those...

    Excessive weight gain in mare?!

    I wormed her last night. This morning, I came out and measured her stomach, and she is still at 50 1/2 so I don't think her stomach is bloated. She must just be fat. However, she was really touchy about her stomach, touchier than she was yesterday. She was touchy like that when she coliced and...

    I believe right before we got her. She was up to date on worming, shots, feet, dental and such. I believe right before we got her. She was up to date on worming, shots, feet, dental and such. We got her on April 11th.

    She has more of a refined build than my other horse, who looks like a full miniature quarter horse. She is kind of a quarab/arab type build.

    Excessive weight gain in mare?!

    She is 34" tall, and 50 1/2- 50 inches around her stomach. She has a half cup (like the actual measurement, not a jug or a cup or something) of grain in the morning, and evening and has a supplement that benefits the coat, muscles, and energy. In the morning and evening, I also give her half a...

    Excessive weight gain in mare?!

    Vet did come out, the morning after she seemed colicky. Said she was acting colicky, but also kind of like a pregnant mare. The banamine worked, she seemed fine and happy once we gave her the banamine. She is still bloated/fat and we did tell the vet about her weight gaining and she said it...

    Excessive weight gain in mare?!

    I think Im just going to take her off the grass, and continue to work her, and then she should lose weight. She must be getting more grass through her muzzle than I thought!

    Excessive weight gain in mare?!

    Forgot to say that her old owner had Angel take a blood test to figure out if she was pregnant, and I guess the hormone levels were not high enough to indicate pregnancy.

    Excessive weight gain in mare?!

    Well, I just spoke to her old owner snd she said that she was last bred on April 29th, 2014, so I dont think its as likely that she is pregnant, because she'd be 392 days! However, if she was bloated, her stomach would have gone down. I measured her yesterday and she was somewhere around 50-51...

    Excessive weight gain in mare?!

    I'm not sure, they didn't tell me, they just said she hadn't taken. I bet they would have had a vet out, though, they don't really seem like the people to just take a wild guess. Sometimes vets miss the foal though. I'm not sure.
