A good bet in this case.

When do we find out what the actual verdict is?

Whenever the vet can come out this week. I am already annoyed he hasn’t called me yet with a day and time. Trust me I want to know just as badly.

 

[pony1234]

The ultrasound will be done tomorrow!

How exciting!

 

[pony1234]

How exciting!

Not sure how to feel really. I fine with either outcome but more nervous than anything.

 

[pony1234]

And the vet just rescheduled for tomorrow morning.

I'm waiting anxiously with you

I'm waiting anxiously with you

I just saw her and she is so grumpy. She stomped her back leg when I touched under the flank on both sides. I have never seen her like this. Normally I say she be fine with an ultrasound but I have no idea how she will react now. Her udder was quite warm today. But she has a full winter coat and it’s in the 70’s today.

What? He has no idea how anxious we are!

No kidding. I was a mess last night and have multiple people who want to know if she is pregnant or not. That and her behavior suggests she is very uncomfortable which is why I was so worried last night. If pregnant she maybe near due.

Vet did not see a foal. So that’s good, I wasn’t sure I could afford one. Yet disappointing a bit.

 

[Standards Equine]

Vet did not offer a blood test?
I'm not so sure how it is with minis but I've known more than a few mares who were examined by a vet and found to not be pregnant and produce a foal several months later. Twins missed on ultrasound, and fetuses who have dropped the uterus low and can't be detected through palpation or ultrasound. I do hope this is actually conclusive for you but if she was my mare, I'd keep a watch in the future. I don't mean you shouldn't work her, I think a reasonable amount of work is good for a pregnant mare too - makes recovery easier, but I'd keep that in the back of my mind.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy her and sort out her sensitivity.

Update: I am having a different vet out tomorrow to look at my mare. Probably will ask to have a blood test taken for pregnancy just to be sure. Mare has a sunken in spot right next to her hip which is odd.

Found a place i could move her and watch her diet better. That decision to move will be based on what the vet thinks.

 

[pony1234]

Okay, blood shows not pregnant! She just swimming in fat and gas. I moving her to a place where she can get on a diet and exercise program. Thanks everyone

If on a diet you still have trouble with her staying fat (make sure it's not just winter hair), I highly recommend you have her thyroid checked with a blood test. It's not expensive, nor is the medication. Without it, she will just stay fat on 'air'.
