Woo Hoo go Kate!!

I wish her udder looked as promising! Makes me wonder if her udder will just go BOOM the day of.

Today she has been less grumpy towards the other horses and has been out most of the day, even still she has some serious edema going on, more so than this am.

And while I am at it, I still am wondering if my rescue pony Shimmer is bred or not. She is putting on some weight across her topline, no where near where she needs to be, and she has been dewormed , still she has this belly, and I think its looking lopsided. Would love yalls thoughts on her.

Kate is certainly looking go to go any time now, although it COULD be another day or so! And yes, you can see her 'sunk' tailhead area from that first picture. Glad she has been a little less grumpy towards her friends!

Poor Nana goatie - dont think she will make the possible Feb dates with a tummy like that, bless her. As for your little Shimmer, I would guess pregnant - looks a bit more like a pregnant tummy rather than a lack of food tummy to me. Any idea when she might be due??

 

[Bonny]

Hey Anna, I wish I knew when she could be due. She was found running the side of the road with a pregnant jenny and a jack. She could be in foal from the jack or maybe a stallion, we just dont know. I got her on the 13th of December abot 10 days after she was found, she was seen by a vet and declared healthy, the rescue asked about pregnancy and Vet said he couldnt palpate as she was to small. I am guessing shetland/ welsh cross she is very young and stands about 10.2 hh. She is still skiddish but warming up nicely. I do assume this would be a first pregnancy for her, so far no udder at all. From side view she doesnt look pregnant, but boy is she fuzzy lol.

This was Kates foaling udder as a maiden, last year. I expect it to be close this year. I tested her ph today and its still high at 8.4. I still expect her to go another week or 2, based on her udder. BUT last year, she never looked as sunk in around the tail as she does this year.

As for Nana, She has a nice comfy bedded stall next to kate, a 12 x 5. I have a splitter and an extra cam I may have to set up!

Wow Kate! Now that's an udder! You werent kidding when you said she wasnt up to her foaling udder yet! I have her cam up and will be watching!

 

[jessj]

I had Kate's cam up, but then it froze and now I cant get the site to bring it up. Is it my computer or everyone?

 

[Bonny]

Hmmm, mine s working fine, what browser do you use? I use chrome.

 

[jessj]

browser??? chrome???? umm.....its on my laptop???

 

[Bonny]

Hmmm ok Do you use google or internet explorer or say firefox to search the web?try to clear your history

 

[jessj]

I use internet explorer. I cleared my browser history and bada bing....it works! Thanks!

 

[jessj]

bouncy berries...lol. your camera is so clear.

 

[kehranc]

wow her udders have grown heaps...

... I am watching her on your live cam and I was wondering do you keep her in that pen all the time now ? Is that the safest option ? ...hahahaha sorry newbie

 

[Bonny]

she has a paddock attached to her stall, only in at night. Or bad weather. But once she is testing ready to foal she will be in. Only out to stretch supervised!

 

[kehranc]

OH cool , thanks for that . I had noticed alot of people overseas do barn them up so I thought I would ask why .....She is so cool and its great to watch ... good luck and hopefully we have a foal somewhere soon

 

[AnnaC]

That udder is looking great and very much on target! Yes she may well look a little more 'squashy' over her tail head (and even sag a little lower with her tummy) this year as she is no longer a maiden.

Cant wait to see this baby - so exciting!

 

[Bonny]

Wait, yall did get that was her foaling udder from last year correct? and that is why I feel we still have a ways to go yet?

 

[kehranc]

hahaha, she still has apretty nice udder... I just saw someone in Kates pen cleaning her poop was that you ????... hahaa and yes I am stalking Miss Kate, I dont have a cam so I get up and check on Molly and then I come over and watch Kates web as I am cleaning up hahahaha.....What time is it over tere now ( 4.10pm in qld )
