My thoughts and prayers are with Layz Acres today....

The little guy didn't make it. The vet says he believes the baby was a little premature. He weighed in at a whopping 16 pounds. He was breathing fine on his own and the vet thinks oxygen would not have made a difference either way. It was beyond that. His joints in his legs were not strong like they needed to be and his internal organs were not quite where they needed to be. I think we all can take a step back and learn tons from this horrible horrible nightmare. I really hate that it has to be at poor April's expense. She is doing okay. It is like she knew something was not right. She didn't seem to mind that anyone handled him and when we had to come back home, she didn't even knicker for him. She is eating hay quietly now and doing okay.

Thanks again for all of those many many prayers and kind words. I am going to work outside today on keeping April company and getting the stall ready for Honey. I will make Honey a new thread.

That is so sad for April. I watched last night for a bit. After everyone left the stall she went over and licked the baby on his face and neck. When he could not get up she walked away to eat hay. She didn't appear overly upset. Just resigned.

So sorry to read this. Mom and I were rooting for him. Best wishes to the family.

 

[LittleRibbie]

Oh Im so sorry, he had so many people rooting for him and what a little fighter he appeared to be. God had other plans for him and he's at peace. Im pretty sure we all saw your beautiful April saying her good byes too. Prayers to your family and Miss April.

Rest In Peace Little One

I am so sorry - this is the part of foaling that all of us dread. I always feel so sorry for the mares when they lose their baby.

Lots of Hugs and Prayers for April and her family.
