where has Dancer gone??

 

[eagles ring farm]

rats I can't get cam up....but big congrats

 

[targetsmom]

I hope the cam is working.. it is here. I had to let Dancer out of her stall because she was getting really upset and trying to jump over the door. Not good. They ALL know something happened. We will keep a close eye on her here and she is wearing the alarm so I just hope SHE lies down and sets it off.

The white on the filly is very small but she is still a pinto. We think she is gorgeous - I will try to measure cannon to see if she is smaller than Clyde but she looks it to me.

I have been watching cam fine since you called and I got voicemail!

I can't wait to meet her!!!!!!!!

 

[Eagle]

cam is up for me

First pic.... she seems to be as big as Clyde but has dark eyes. I measured cannon at 8 1/2" which is what Clyde's was. And a pic of our hero Clyde through the stall window.

 

[Eagle]

Oh Mary you must be over the moon, well done to you and your assistant

Great job

I know it is hard to believe how FAST these mares can foal. And going from not being ready at all just 14 hours ago. And mostly standing up so as not to set the alarm off.....Sneaky...

Baby seems quite precocious and has found the milk bar by herself, judging by the slurps I hear. Toffee has passed the placenta so i guess I will give her some Banamine and her wormer. I am trying to leave them alone for a bit to bond.

 

[Magic Marker Minis]

I keep reading that you give banamine to your mare after foaling because of pain... Where do you get it? Out here, you have to have a prescription... and, quite frankly, three of the four vets here in Tucson are morons/worthless... It also takes over 4 hours to get a vet out here even in an emergency...

Congrats!

A few pages ago I wrote about my AWESOME vet and having a good relationship with him. Like I have him do all my shots, even though I could do them myself. I buy a tube of Banamine paste from him whenever I need it.

 

[Eagle]

Yes Mary your vet is a super vet. I am very lucky too as my vet is great. Kari With my qualifications I can my drugs but most of the time I get my vet to give it to me when she is here as a whole bottle would last my minis a lifetime. Lol

 

[eagles ring farm]

congrats Mary on such a sweetheart little girl

we get banamine from our vet but you can have your vet send a prescription to valleyvet or somewhere similar and order online

we just get the paste in a tube

 

[blazingstarranch]

Dancer's udder looks like it is about to burst... but what do I know? I certainly didn't think Toffee would foal today during the DAY!!!
