I am still holding to my idea that she just needs more protein in her diet to remove her tummy. I would try putting her on Alfalfa for a while and see if that helps if not get her on a vit/min suppliment. Also it might not be a bad idea to give her some ulcer meds, after what she went through it is highly possible that she has one. Aloe Vera juice is good for ulcers too.
Sorry! It stopped notifying me of replies, and I've been convinced that she isn't pregnant and kind of bummed about it. She is doing really well, no major changes. I keep checking her daily. About a week ago I got watery thin yellow fluid from her udder, and figured it was just fluid that non-maiden mares can get no matter what.
Today was different though. Her stomach changed so much today that it freaked me out, and I checked milk again. It was white and slightly sticky. The thing that freaked me out is how her stomach seems to be fluid filled at the bottom. There is a line I can see where it starts at the bottom of her belly. The vet is coming out on the 20th for a group stable visit. They won't do an ultrasound, but she thinks she'll be able to tell one way or another.
The last time Misty was exposed to a stallion was August of last year, so she'd be about 8 months at the very least. Here is a photo of her from 3/20 and one from today.
The picture of her from the top and the udder are today too.
I think I'm becoming convinced. I wish the vet would do an ultrasound or a test. I'm not going to pay 75 bucks for one though. Maybe I'll have her draw blood and do that 25 dollar test.
