Hey Everyone ,
I took a few photos yesterday of Rexina, she is doing much better but it will take a while for her to fully recover from the laminitis. I have my vet coming tonight to look at Fitzy as he is very short in his action in his back leg. I must be very popular at the Vet practice I use at the moment as its starting to feel like a weekly visit. I will say I don't hesitate for a second in calling one out though.
Not a lot of change in Rexina tho there is one photo that I took last week where I maybe looking at a lopsided tummy or baby poking out but Ill let you ladies Judge that
Its been 6 weeks since the first initial Udder development and I don't think It has increased at all.

Hi everyone , happy Easter to you all . It's Sunday morning here so I'm getting in early .
Rexina is on the mend ( slowly ) each day she is moving around more freely . If any of the shops are open today I'm going to buy a grazing muzzle for her so I can turn her out a lot more without letting her munch on any grass . The people that I brought her off have been really helpful in her recovery , giving me some ideas and ways to help her back to her old self . Also some preventative ideas so this doesn't happen again .
If she's pregnant or not , well that's a different question . I'm waiting on a specialist reproduction vet to return from holidays . I will then have her look at Rexina . She believes she will be able to give me a definite yes or no to whether she is foal or not . At this stage my usual vet believes she has miscarried along the way and is having a false pregnancy . Her udder has stayed the same as in previous pictures , and I haven't noticed any further changes .
It' hasn't been the best for little Rexina during her first pregnancy , but I'm here to help in any way I can to help her thru it .
Thanks everyone for your love and support , the well wishes and your time to have a look at my thread during the many millions of questions I have had .
If it turns out she is not pregnant , I think it's time Rexina has a paddock mate in another little mare . If I wasn't told she was in foal in the first place , she wouldn't of been in a paddock by herself .......

Can't wait to hear the news from the new vet. So good she's improving. We're all here for you and any questions you have!
So glad to hear that Rexina is starting to feel better, bless her. And you are right - if it proves that she is not pregnant, then I'm sure she would love to have a new friend to live with, exciting possibilities!!
As for any questions, well I have to say that we are all continually learning new things and that learning comes from the wonderful folks on here who are prepared to share their horse's problems with us, then giving us the info on their progress, recovery, vet's opinions, treatments that have worked or not as the case may be, etc etc. So we thank you for all your questions, they make us stop and think plus there is always the possiblility that any answers given may help someone else, if not now, then in the future.

So glad Rexina is on the mend and you'll have the answer on whether or not she's pregnant. She's such a lovely mare I hope you'll keep posting photos even if she isn't expecting.

Hey Mousie96,
Shes doing much better, thanks so much for asking. Laminitis is slowly getting under control. She is moving around much better with ease and seems a lot better within herself. She has lost a lot of weight, which she needed too.
I have the vet coming out in the next few days for a check up. I very much doubt she is still carrying a foal. With the rollercoaster ride she has been on this year with the possible she is in foal & she isn't in foal and the laminitis to be honest im really just Glad "she is ok".
I have a friend that may bring their mini mare over for winter as a playmate for her. Think it will be great for her. If she is over everything she has been thru by the end of the year I may look at trying to breed her again, but will decide later on in the year.
Hows your little girl going ? growing up fast im sure

Sounds like good news for Rexina. How 'bout a picture or two of the pretty lady?
So glad she's improving, and a winter friend sounds just perfect!

Good Morning Everyone,
Had the vet out last night , just wanted to make sure Rexina is on the mend from the laminitis and for a final check on that Mysterious udder.
Well, I can definitely confirm that she is no longer in foal. Her udder has gone right down and whats left of it is confirmed to be more or less fat deposit.
Its certainly been a rollercoaster ride for her but Im just glad that she is ok at the end of the day. Ill start letting her out for small grazing periods and I have also ordered a grazing muzzle in case she starts to head in the wrong direction once again.
winter is just about here, so ill let this thread go to sleep for a while and hopefully I will have some good news with a possible pregnancy early Nov or Dec with the possibility of a foal for Oct or Nov 2015.
Cant thank you all enough for the advice and responses to questions I have had.
Ill still be around on here , love reading about how everyone is going and how the gorgeous foals are growing up. And why wouldn't I come on here when you can learn something new everyday

We'll be looking forward for next year, and we hope you stay here and join us on the other threads. Everyone has experiences to share, and we're all friends here and will love hearing about Rexina and how she's doing! So don't be gone for long. Heck, it will be fun to see this thread grow and grow -- and adding to her story next year!

Hey Ryan I'm so glad to hear that Rexina is doing so well, bet she will be please to have some grass to nibble at again - although she may well feel a little frustrated with the muzzle (they are not good at realising that some things are 'applied' for their best interests!!)
If you want to let this thread go to sleep for a while, just using it for the occasional updates (I think I started my thread in 2012!), then that's ok as long as you dont leave us coz that we wont allow!! You are a valued friend and your imput is appreciated and enjoyed, so no going off and leaving us please!
Good luck with your breeding plan for Rexina, looking forward to hearing how it goes and to the possibility of welcoming a Rexina foal next year!

Glad to hear that Rexina is doing better!! That is a great idea to give her a friend for winter. I'm sure she would like someone to play and hang out with! Hope your winter is not as long and cold as ours was here in Va. Keep us updated from time to time on how Rexina does over the winter!!!!!!
