MANY CONGRATULATIONS!! Absolutely brilliant!! Well done Lily and welcome to your beautiful daughter.

Several small mushy feeds every couple of hours would be good. Having emptied themselves out, most mares wont do any more droppings for 12 to 24 hours, so dont worry, just keep the moist food going in and that will help.
Sorry if this sounds a bit befuddled, but I went to bed after my last post, and have just woken up after 2 hours sleep - just had to come here to check on Lily!!
Again, many congrats - cant wait for the dry pictures!! Night all!

Colourwise silver doesn't show on a red based coat and I don't see any dark points for a bucky. What I do so is a DARLING little palomino pinto filly who just needs a snuggle, well done Lily!
That richer gold is exactly what you want to see as the creamy foals rarely end out as the bold golden palis, you tend to need a rich gold or apricot to get that
Congrats! I can't wait for more pictures (hint hint

Congratulations on the safe arrival of your beautiful filly
Thanks. I will get more pictures this morning. Quick question...Im sure its normal just want to make sure. Lily's hooha is very swollen almost looks like pinkish jelly all the way around the edges. Is this normal? Should I run cold water over it today or put something other than neosporin on it? I have to call my vet later to get her out but it"ll probably be later this evening before she comes so I want to make sure I do what ever lily needs done. She eating her smaller wet meals. and up and moving with the running filly LOL
I would leave her be, is she showing any discomfort in relation to her rear end? Any rubbing or strong sensitivity?
If you have any concerns it never hurts to have a vet check. I still drag my vet out after each foaling to give mum and bubs a once over, I figure I'm still learning, he doesn't charge a fortune and it can be good for peace of mind.

My vet does charge a fortune. I will probably have her out just to see mom...baby is a nursing fool...and a pooper LOL Mom doesnt seem to be bother by her back end it just looks bad. Im going to give her a quick wipe down today cause she has stuff all over her backside so ill watch it closely.

In my novice opinion it does look like a small rip or torn flap of some kind but doesnt nessecarily need stitching and doesnt appear to be bleeding...strange. And you say shes not rubbing it at all? I will be interrested in hearing what the others think?
Me, I did have the vet out after Peanut foaled but that was because it was my 1st foal and I just needed some reassurance that all was well w/both mom and baby. If the vet was coming to you anyway I would most certainlly have them take a look see but maybe the others can suggest something to put on it or maybe if shes not sore back there and everything else is fine as long as it stays clean it will heal on its own.
P.S......had to clean the computer screen off as hubby blew his coffee all over it when he saw the picture..." What the heck is THAT"...I told him not to read over my shoulder.
On another note, your filly is just darling...love her markings..she'll be as pretty as mom Im sure. Again congratulations!! It was pouring down rain here in Ft.Myers when she was being born...Im so glad you were not having thunderstorms where you are...I was thinking of you! Glad all went well

Wow I've never seen anything like that.....IMO I would call out the vet - even my maiden mare with a teenie tiny vulva didn't do that.....If she were mine I would have the vet out ASAP because you don't want to risk infection and/or scar tissue so I imagine he would put her on some preventive antibiotics atleast just to be sure......
Honestly, to me, it screamed "get the vet out" because I've never seen a mare have tears like that.....I'll send prayers your way and congrats on such a darling filly!

ok going to see if the other vet that is closer will come out and see her today. My vet is working the other side of town thats why her fee is so high to come today. I will let you guys know. That baby had a big head LOL From what I can see I only see tearing outside Ive looked inside and didnt see anything but ill see if the closer vet can come out today.

Yes I personally would get the vet out, as Diane said you need to find out that she isn't torn on the inside. I had problems with my first son and Holy Crapola 2 days later I was in complete agony and couldn't feed my baby, you don't want that to happen
Your vet will probably flush her and give her some antibiotics just to be safe.

I love her markings
