Kandy due soon, need help determining when!

[Ryan Johnson]

Im gonna say you have a little time yet In the last lot of pic you have posted , the foal hasnt dropped as yet. The last Udder pic is showing some great development

 

[Krmal90]

Tonight Kandy had just the smallest amount of dry-ish dark brown blood around her vulva. Is that normal? Foal was kicking tonight as well. Pictures are from a couple days ago.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

Looking at her udder Id say you have a bit to go yet..................... BUT seeing as though she is a maiden mare, anythings possible.

Mares usually lose the mucous plug a few days to a week before foaling. Id really be watching her like a hawk now. Even though her udder isnt "full" , it may not completely fill before she foals.

 

[Ryan Johnson]

When you have a chance can you take a photo standing directly behind her? say 5+ meters back. It will give us an indication on how the foal is is currently positioned.

How’s your mare coming along ?

Not a whole lot of change! There may be a bit more udder growth but not enough to be sure..

 

[Krmal90]

There may be more changed than I thought, I just took these pictures today

 

[elizabeth.conder]

That is a big change! I find it best to take pictures frequently to compare.

Any chance you can test ph? That udder I’d expect to grow some but you can see how firm it’s looking and how much less of a crease there is.

100% agree with elisabeth.conder. I was going to say the same thing! pH test would really help you to have a better idea.

Still no milk

 

[elizabeth.conder]

That’s okay. Sometimes you are never able to express milk till after foaling. Keep trying as you are able don’t sweat it if you can’t. But I would definitely be watching her closer.

 

[Krmal90]

I was guesstimating by the 26th, do you think that would be about right or could she go longer?

 

[elizabeth.conder]

Well it’s very hard to predict. Some will progress fast and foal fast. Others will stall. I do think she could be getting close to the interesting stage.

 

[Krmal90]

She had her colt sometime last night or this morning!! He is everything I wanted!
