That is great news

She is restless tonight. It's 3.45 am and she can't stand still in one place for long.

4.40 am and she has just gone down sternal

Thank you Renee'. I turned in at 12:30, couldn't stay awake. This morning I left her in longer because she was sleeping laying sternal. After she ate breakfast she laid down again, so I sat next to her and we visited, shared scratches, and she slept some more. Then she tried sleeping flat out, but couldn't stay that way long, I think the foal is in an uncomfortable position, then she would sleep sternal again. We both enjoyed the warmer sun and no wind for a change. She rested with me for over an hour, so maybe she is getting geared up!

Hubby was sent to town for groceries, as I won't leave her lol. As good an excuse as "kitty on lap paralysis" is.

 

I've been away all weekend, and was upset about missing the mares here. But I see, I haven't missed this pretty girl!! Sounds like it's getting exciting! Can't wait!

 

[cassie]

just signing back iin from also being away this weekend and am ready for your pretty girl to have her baby,

she is looking a lot more slab sided to me today... so you might be right about seeing a baby soon! here's hoping!!

Oh my!!! We all suffer from that around here!! Lol

Well, her tummy is still out and up. No changes, BUT her udder is the same and has not gone down. She is really agitated or something tonight. She has lots of hay, different kinds to choose from but she is not acting happy. I am thinking she is frustrated because her teeth most likely have points in the back. She was very uncomfortable all am, and tired. Hope poor baby gets some sleep. I sure need to, keeping the pj's on.

What have some of you guys done as far as boots or shoes for mid nighttime barn runs for foaling? I don't know what to have near the door, it will probably be my slippers again! Hope she picks a nice warm afternoon lol. Mmmm, should I sleep in socks?

 

[cassie]

lol you are funny! LOL I think gumboots or something slip on and easy to grab would be best, my first mare foaled so early I still had my joggers on so that was fine lol second mare I had just jumped out of the shower and didn't have any shoes on LOL (she wasn't my mare so I wanted to get out there asap, I didn't worry about shoes LOL) she is looking pretty calm to me atm, a little shifty in the legs but not seemingly uncomfortable....

I use crocs when I run outside quick, they take a second to slip on

Nearly 11.00 pm and all is quiet

Just thinking "out loud" here, but perhaps because we know she has some serious mouth problems that can't be fixed until after she foals, have you tried making her some "slop" foods that she doesn't really have to chew? Perhaps that would be easier on her little mouth, and still get the food in. Maybe it would entice her since it wouldn't hurt to eat it?

I'm bad here, because I just go out and live in flip-flops, since foals were born here when it was quite warm.

Keep us posted, I'm hoping she goes quickly for you! Come on little momma -- the faster you have this little one, the faster you can get your teeth fixed and the pain gone! PLUS, we Aunties want to see what you're hiding in there!!

 

[rubyviewminis]

Awh, thanks guys. Darn it snowed last night, but snow or not I might be running to the stall in socks or slippers lol.

Diane, most of the time she absolutely detests sloppy yet warmed beet pulp, pellets, cubes *rolling eyes*. I have even tried cold water. Once in awhile she likes it, but I think her mouth (maybe not) and the pregnancy are really riling her.

I am so mad at that other vet. Twice telling me her teeth were fine, and then we see points while she is pregnant with this wonderful vet I have.

Well better get out there again and pamper my little angel.

JMHO here but *most* vets know very little about horses teeth around here anyway. Just imagine going to your family doctor to have him check your teeth... If I suspect teeth issues I call in an equine dentist instead of a vet. I do know of two vets in my area that do specialize in equine teeth and went to same school as the E-dentist. One will not work on minis as she does not have the proper tools and the other I only use if I believe the horse must be sedated. She is good but about three times the price of the E-dentist. Good Luck with your girl.

 

[rubyviewminis]

True. Not too far in the distance is an Equine Dental Colledge in Idaho. But we are pretty remote, I tried to get one here many times, its just too far from civilization. The two vets I have now are very knowledgeable, and they take the time to practice on the side of caution, and learn with my minis. I have the mini equipment and they sure appreciate it. So far the work they have done for us has been very good, this other one *rolls eyes*. He was the only one I knew of and we had nothing but complications with everything he did with my minis. Nice person, but not-so-good vet.

I wasn't watching much the last two hours, just now I saw her yawning. Has anyone else seen her yawning today?

 

[Eagle]

no sorry, I have just put the kids to bed now. I feel like a drink, is it wine o'clock yet?

 

[teng]

It definitely is in the UK - I may join you !!

 

Wine o'clock here now in the States, too!! And I'm raising my glass to all these fine ladies!!

 

[cassie]

lol have some wine for me too ladies, its not wine o clock here yet lol I think I would get in trouble if I was caught with wine at work LOL....

how is she looking tonight Becky?

 

[Eagle]

lol I don't want you to get in trouble Cassie so no wine for you

 

[cassie]

a few more hours and it will be wine time for me lol

 

[rubyviewminis]

Since I missed the posts yesterday, I now have to wait HOURS for wine o'clock today.

Been watching her most of last night and this morning. She doesn't know what she wants poor baby. Throwing hay seems to be a favorite pasttime, redecorating. That edema is very hard and hot feeling, but until I actually go check her she has been the same. Missy likes to take her time on everything to make sure it's done right

If we alternate her hay, and throw one type on the mat next to her little barrel, she loves it.

Cold and skiffs of snow all day, probably breezy too again. Winds are under *blow off your roof* speed so it is a breeze.
