I have no idea Cassie, I think I personally would call the vet and get her scanned. If she isn't preggo you have wasted some money but if she IS you can start to get organised just in case she doesn't get any milk for some strange reason. Has she had any fescue? I doubt it very much cos of Suzie but just asking ? Her tummy does look a little different but I must admit I am not that convinced any more, I guess time will tell

ok thanks Renee,

why would she get the drop in levels then? it was a definite drop from the other time...

now I really just don't know.

I suppose I will just watch her and go from there.

I am sure we don't have any fescue here, wouldn't that stop all milk from coming through?

I'm going to put the question on the main forum and see what they think.
 
I am sure you have no fescue Cassie, I am just talking aloud and trying to understand what is going on with Penny, Sorry.

Her milk is progressing but she doesn't have an udder!!! it just doesn't make sense.
 
lol I know thats what stresses me... I have asked on the main forum if they have had much experience with mares not having a bag before foaling... I really hope I don't have to get vet out! its a weekend and they charge $300 just to come out here on the weekend!! let alone anything else they need to do

I hope I didn't sound harsh Renee, thank you for helping me... I guess I'm just so over all of this and want to know either way!

I wish she would just tell me if she is preggers or not...

Thank you everyone
 
Goodness Cassie, how very strange!! That second picture of her teats shows that they have separatd even if there is little filling. But mushy poos and grumpy behaviour plus that milk test on any mare WITH a bag, would mean a foal soon!!

If she is in foal then she cant go much longer without producing it, so hang in there for now. Never had a mare with a false pregnancy so no idea how far they go with the foaling 'proceedure'. But it is just possible that Penny could foal with no bag and then fill up during/soon after foaling, so keep a very close eye on her and dont forget, if she shows signs of foaling, get right in there with her FROM THE START! Dont wait to see how she is doing - sit quietly in the corner until she is down and starting to push then go and check that she has two little feet coming and feel carefully up inside for a little nose, then you will know you/she is good to go. No use waiting for two legs to appear only to find there is no nose!!

Really hoping there IS a little baby on the way - for you and for Penny - fingers are crossed!!
 
Thank you Anna,

I will keep a good eye on her just in case...

will let you all know if anyone answers my question on the main page... I know you can all check but might make it easier...

lol I guess I'm just tired. I'm going to get a shower maybe that will make me feel better LOL

Thank you both for supporting me so much through all this
 
Never feel like you have to apologise Cassie, we are in this all together remember

I totally understand your frustration and fear. We will watch her closely tonight and tomorrow night and see if she has an udder progress.

Wow, Penny. What in the world? She does not look like a mare ready to foal but she is showing so many signs?

If it were me, if there was no baby by Monday I would have to have a vet come out. I don't know how much a scan costs in your area Cassie- but Penny is just so strange!

12:58 cam time and she is standing looking out the door
 
4.10am and she is still reasonably quiet - tired maybe after all that activity during the evening? I watched her several times in the evening and she seemed so worried about what was or was not outside - do the other two keep wandering away Cassie or can they be seen by her all the time? It was then that she just kept doing loads of small piles of droppings mainly because she was so agitated poor girl.

Anyway she seems to have settled down. Wish we could think of some way to get her to relax for a whole night - maybe then she would put some of her energies into making some milk (or not which would give us a clue as to whether she is in foal!)

I you do manage to gt a little milk from her today Cassie I will be very interested to know what it reads on the chart!
 
ok thanks Renee,

why would she get the drop in levels then? it was a definite drop from the other time...

Cassie, I sent you a pm.
 
Cassie you could always drop an email to Foal-time and ask them what they think about her levels dropping, they are really nice people as I am sure you know.

4.45am and she is down sternal

Oh good idea thanks Renee will do she has just gone down sternal again n looks like she kinda wants to go flat but maybe not lol she really looks like she has big ears when she puts them to the side/ back like that lol poor penny

Going back to sleep for a few more hours... Yes Anna I am going to try to test her milk so very odd she looks comfy now... Back to sleep:)
 
Ok so she was laid down and then got up stretched a hind leg and straight back down on the other side. A bit of yawning thrown in too. 5.36
 
She certainly laid down a lot during the last few hours - really strange unless of course she had tired herself out! But I also think it strange that it is now nearly 7.45am and she is hooverng quietly - where's the 'breakfast should be here' excitement??

Penny you are driving us nuts! LOL!!
