Lily's Foal Watch

[lilysmom]

I m so happy with the little filly...she is a piggie though. Mom is doing really great with her and has peed and pooped today. I do have a call in to the other vet so Im waiting to hear back

 

[lilysmom]

Just talked to vet he is going to come out today...not sure when yet as he is going to squeeze me in as to not charge a emergency fee....very nice guy! But he will be out to see her

 

[Mima Acres]

Congratulations on your filly. I'm glad your wait is finally over!!! She is so BEAUTIFUL, I love her markings and color

 

[lilysmom]

She is such a spunky girl....momma is having a hard time keeping her close by LOL

Oh your little filly is just adorable, she's such a pretty girl, but then so is Lily.

I think you are wise to ask a vet to check on Lily, I'm pretty sure it is just the swelling from a rather 'difficult' first birth, and it will go down in time, but a check 'inside' would be sensible and maybe there is something special that will help the swelling to subside.

Please let us know how the vsit goes.

 

[lilysmom]

ok vet just left...Lily and baby look great! They jelly looking stuff is actually as he tried to explain it almost like a water blister. He said that should go down. the swelling has already started going down. The tears are small he said and wont require any stitches. He did give some antibiotics to keep on them

everyone looks good though

 

[lilysmom]

I wanted to be sure she was safe

Baby and mom are doing so good

I couldnt be any happier

 

[AnnaC]

Great news - so glad all was well. As Diane said, we really cannot afford to take any chances with our precious girls.

So - more pics of your special pair tomorrow please - has baby got a pet name yet?

 

[lilysmom]

Yes Baby filly's name is Harmony! I will update more pictures tomorrow I promise. You guys are so awesome on here and are wonderful to those of us who are clueless.......I thank you all. You made me calm when i panic and you helped with any questions

Thank you so much for your time

 

[lilysmom]

[AnnaC]

Thank YOU for allowing us to share in Lily's foaling journey - love that name of Harmony, just perfect for her.

And please stay around, both so we can have regular updates and pics of Lily and Harmony, and because those of us who are foaling later this year will certainly need your support!

 

[lilysmom]

So glad to hear Lily & Harmony (great name!) are doing good! Can't wait for more pictures of the new pair

[lilysmom]

My girls are so thrilled.The baby is such a sweetie loves to be scratched. Even did the lip curling thing earlier. Ben Im not leaving til I see a few of these mares with babies....then Ill peek in from time to time to see whats going on

 

[Mima Acres]

So glad to hear that momma and baby are both doing well. Congratulations again!

 

[lilysmom]

Thanks....They are doing great....both are eating, peeing and pooping. everyone is active and lily doesnt seem to be bothered by the tears. She hasnt tried to itch them or anything. Ive been putting the cream on her and she is already looking much better!

 

[lilysmom]

I need to post more pictures but its storming out....But This little girl is going to be a handful

Shes running around and already trying to buck and rear....neither of which have been completely successful...they have ended with a fall to the ground but its so cute

 

[Equuisize]

Congratulations! So glad to see you got your foal and she and Mommy are doing OK.

She is really a doll.

 

[lilysmom]

Quick question...The flies down here in florida are really bad this year....is there anything safe to spray the filly with so she no aggrivated by them so much?
