I have a 19yr old mini mare that i recently noticed had a swollen udder! She has been pastured with a stallion for 2yrs now but the thing is, I would think she was pregnant but I could have sworn she came in heat about a month ago so I didn't know if they had a 'fake heat' where the hormones made her/him think she was in heat. If not then could this be a case of mastitis even though she wasn't producing milk prior to this?
I did squeeze her udder and clear/very light yellow/orange liquid squirted out with pressure behind it, so it didn't just drip out, there is no odor to it, but it is slightly sticky. Lately she seems sluggish and is laying down to sleep ALOT more than usual, even when the stallion gets her up she looks for a place to lay down agian. I'm very worried cuz I only have the 2 minis and I LOOOVEEE her to death!!! If she is pregnant I have to remove the stallion immediatly because he has killed a baby goat in the past and I dont trust him with a foal! So please help me figure this out, its urgent!!!!
Also she does not look pregnant to me, she is a lil chubby but it looks more like she is just chubby from the grass, but her belly isn't hanging down or that large, not like some of the ones I have seen!
