haha Toffee's baby from earlier today

Sugar and Cheerio both down sternal...

 

[happy appy]

I was able to express Sugar's milk today. I tried when I turned them out this morning and nothing. Checked again a couple hours later and milk! testing over 6.8. An hour later testing between 6.4-6.8. Tested again an hour ago and coming in under 6.4!

I think that she is just faking but you never know!

If she is dropping that fast look out. My girl last year went from 6.4 - 6.0 in 2 hours

 

[happy appy]

I can't register past 6.4. The square was just much lighter than 6.4 and it gets darker as you go up.

 

[Eagle]

what strips are you using Tina?

 

[AnnaC]

Good news, this sounds promising. Dont leave her side from now on!!!

Good luck and safe foaling.

 

[happy appy]

I am using spa strips for my hot tub.

 

[happy appy]

Well I just got home from work and her milk is nice and white and still testing below 6.4. She is so ready that I only brushed her udder and it started spraying out!

 

[cassie]

woohoo! very exciting safe foaling for when she foals

Cheerio has been down sternal for quite a while now... but she is in a different spot to normal

 

[misty'smom]

Sugar has been up and down, up and down.....she looks very uncomfortable tonight. By the way she is acting I think she maybe going into labor??? Cheerio must know sense something she has been pacing and she keeps watching Sugar!! I believe animals can sense these things they are very smart!!!

 

[cassie]

Misty's mom, just so you know, Cheerio is in front Sugar in back

I haven't seen Sugar down at all tonight? but I could have missed something... Sugar looks as though she wants to lie down but changes her mind about that...

 

[cassie]

down roll and back up...

 

[cassie]
