Ok that's a good enough excuse for a party to me. Sorry Odette, couldn't wait for you.
Britt heard about the party and beat you to it.
Congrats Renee & Britt.
He's a darling boy. Maybe he need a Nursing 101 remediation class?
Hope you're grabbing a rest between feedings.
Continuing to get good updates on Eagle?

Eagle has made it through the 48 hour critical stage so it should be o.k from now but please keep praying

That is good enough for me, I know your hands are full and your body must be so tired so dont worry about filling me in, I just wanted to be sure he is doing good. I remember bottle feeding... very very tiring... but very very worth every moment of it.
Afte a long night I'm so glad to see the announcemnt here (thank you Diane for being there for us - don't forget to get some rest for yourself!)
Apart from Renee's obvous relief to see this little one on the ground, it is Britt I am so thilled for - she has a baby of her own at last, bless her. Well done Britt!
Come on little man, give your new Grandma a rest and start looking to your Momma for a direct milk supply.
My prayers are continuing for him and for Eagle. Good luck Renee and MANY CONGRATULATIONS my friend.

Oh wow!! You poor girl Renee, you are just having such a trial right now. I wish I was close by so that I could help feed that baby boy for you. Make sure you check that IgG on him, he might need a little plasma to give him a boost. It is amazing how that can really help them out.
Great news that Eagle is passed the 48 hour mark. Good boy Eagle-Man!!
I will continue to keep you in my prayers!

Haha Diane get out there!!! Lol I miss seeing cam!
Renee I am so happy to hear eagle is over the crucial part!! Big hugs my friend!
N how is our lovely Odette this morning?
How are things going Renee - are you coping ok my friend, you must be pretty exhausted. I do wish I could be there to offer you some help. Has Britt recovered from the sudden birth of her baby - I bet she is thrilled with him, bless her. Will your vet be calling in today for another checkover?
So glad Eagle is making good progress, but -and dont get me wrong - I hope he can stay where he is for a few more days as I feel you have enough to cope with at the moment with your new little man and Izzy's puppies (let alone the humans!) and you dont need another patient to care for yet. The same with the lovely Odette, am hoping she hangs on a bit longer until things calm down for you.
Have you managed to think up a name for the little fella yet - I think he looks like a Pilgrim as he has had a journey of several years to actually manage to make his appearance here!
Still saying prayers for him, Eagle and for you my friend.

Oh, man, I go to bed and re-check this in the morning and have to go back several pages to catch up!! Congrats on Brit's colt and glad to hear Eagle is coming along well and the foal is finally nursing. I really feel for you, having been in a similar position ( but not that bad) just recently. Prayers to you and all your "family"!! Don't forget to take care of yourself and let people help you!!!

SOunds like the new little man wants to lay in bed and be fed by the ladies. What a typical boy!!! Now that he has gotten the colostrum I think your vets idea is a great one. Let him get hungry, very hungry. He will not sit around long, he will be looking for the milk bar.

Vet said he is a dummy foal, can you explain what that will mean. Luckily I have never seen one before.
The placenta was horrible so he obviously didn't get all that he needed also probably why she foaled so early.

Oh thank goodness, thank you my friend
Oh Renee it is just so great to be able to see them at last!
Just been watching you milking Britt and then trying to get the little man to feed for himself - you must be exhausted with all this extra work. Britt is just amazing isn't she - and doesn't she love her new baby! How are you managing with her food, being that she normally has grass access - she looks so well.
Give her a big hug from me - you know how I feel about her and it is wonderful to actually see her 'in person' at last.
So glad your vet thought that things were progressing well - dont worry too much about your little boy, he will soon be racing around like any other foal, these possible 'dummy' babies just have to take things at their own pace for a week or so. He will be fine, especially with your love, care and attention!
