saffires foaling thread

[lucky lodge]

oh its really windy here today and theres ment to be a storm coming soon

will that put her off ..bloody weather

 

[lucky lodge]

no i called the first vet as she knows more on whats going on with saffire

but if she doesnt call soon ill be ringing the new vet

saffire seems to off calmed down and its ticking down with rain (great)

If I where you I wouldn't go shopping, you would never forgive yourself if she foaled alone and needed you.

 

[lucky lodge]

ive allready been shopping and it was a very quick shop

 

[lucky lodge]

saffire is acting very calm now whats going one minute she looks like action is happening then she stops

 

[AnnaC]

Be very careful Jenny, vets are funny folk and if they think you have two vets involved with your horses then they may refuse to treat or visit at all until they fully understand and accept which one is actually acting for you - eg long delays!!

You had your new vet to Dusty and were surely able to chat to her about Saffire, plus you changed to her because you were unhappy with your treatment by the first vet, so the new vet is now your vet and should be allowed to take over the care of your animals.

Judging by their past performance and their uncaring attitude, I'm sure you will not be able to rely on your old vets to rush to your side as Saffire foals??? So forgt about them and get hold of the new vet asap and update her as to what is going on.

Keeping my fingers cross and saying prayers for a safe and speedy delivery of a healthy baby.

ps. her behaviour sounds quite normal Jenny - just dont take your eyes off her for more than a minute or two!!

The rain has only ever encouraged mine!

t

thanks well the vet didnt ring me and i fell asleep in front of the camera with the alarm on.....

this foaling stuff has really worn me out ..it 6.30pm her now so iam watching her eat her dinner...

next foaling time i will be way more set up with better cameras and will have them on marestare

and will have more paddocks set up and more stables

saffire is very carm no tail swishing nothing just standing there eating her dinner not like last night

nope spoke to soon she left her dinner gone for a walk around in her yard...now she back again

oh and the wax has fallen off

 

[lucky lodge]

up date she just keeps eating then going for walk then back for more dinner

what she doing that for

 

[Eagle]

I would be very careful and watch her like a hawk, my Britt ate her dinner like that and then foaled 30 minutes later, she also did a lot of walking during the day so it sounds like Saffire could be getting ready.

 

[lucky lodge]

well she has stoped eating and has;nt finished all her dinner and thats not like her she a gabage disposal

unit LOL if she was in labour would;nt she be more restless

 

[Eagle]

my mares are always impossible to really see in labour, once they start it is all over VERY quick. I have spent hours in the barn at night only to miss them whilst i went for a cup of tea or a pee. My girls will just stop eating and foal.

 

[lucky lodge]

well its ticking down with rain here hope she has it in the stable and not in the yard

 

[lucky lodge]

:salute time 10.30pm and no action shes standing in her stable very calm

 

[Eagle]

[lucky lodge]

OH thats so sad,,,,,no iam not takeing my eye of her...but she better have it before thursday got to go to work.....but i can cancel all my jobs as iam my own boss.....

[cassie]

Suzie was hardly restless at all too... ate all her dinner just like Britt! then got down to it... you all saw LOL
