update on saffire she hasnt moved all day..even when i went to clean the paddocks she would normaly

follow me around nope not today and shes getting a bit cranky again to hope its not b/c she;s not on antibotics any more or b/c she gunna foal.....

If she has finished the whole course of her anti-biotics then perhaps she doesn't need more? (just like with humans). But I do think you should get hold of your new vet and ask her as she will be the one taking charge from now on.

Can Saffire be 'tested' to see if the infection has 'halted'? Sorry but I dont know anything about this sort of happening, which is why I think you should talk to your new vet.

I do think that Saffire being a bit cranky and acting a bit out of character is probably due to being so close to foaling and feeling generally uncomfortable, and not necessarily because she might still have the infection.

yer i think she is close to foal to and her coat is really shiney so you would think she healthy

could we have some pics of her tummy sideways and from behind, pretty please

 

[AnnaC]

Which is why we dont take our eyes off them however long it takes - and why they are just fine, while we are gibbering, sleep deprived wrecks - and why (many many years ago before I had Cathy's help) I can remember swallowing loads of those caffine based 'pro plus' tablets to keep myself going for all night sit-ups plus looking after between 12 and 16 fully stabled big horses - mine plus liveries - who needed full-time care plus exercise each day!

 

[lucky lodge]

will take more photos tomorrow as it dark here now

 

[Eagle]

Anna I used to take Pro plus when I was a croupier. Lol wonderful stuff lol

 

[Eagle]

I am still new at this breeding game too Jenny and what I have learnt from these wonderful ladies/ friends on here is to take daily photos of my mares tummies and udders as it will help determine when they are due to drop next year. Each mare has her own special shape and size. roll on next spring cos I will be ready

 

[lucky lodge]

no foal to report ....

come on saffire today or tonight would be good got to go to work tomorow

as i dont wont to leave the house ..As iam on my own throw the day..husband doesnt get home from work

till 7 at night...and my daughter cant stand the sight of blood she,d be no help..she,d pass out

 

[Eagle]

She sounds like my mum

You would never believe we are related, she is so tidy and made up and she smells sooooo good, me, well I am just a mess

Poor mum has tried so hard over the years to turn me into a young lady

I turned up for dinner at her house last night with my wellies on and she nearly died

 

[AnnaC]

LOL!! I do admire Mums who look and dress like Mums should, but it is a good job your Mum doesn't live here Renee. Everyone wears Wellies or muddy farm boots, even on Christmas Day! Whether Christmas lunch is here or at Cathy's, farm footwear is the norm - we do make an effort to wear clean (non smelly) trousers and a top, but the meal is eaten in the middle of normal work, plus you never know when there might be an emergency!!

 

[lucky lodge]

iam a wellie girl and i allways stink of horse crap

i allways wear wellie when iam in the paddock but my every day shoe are my steelcaps love them

 

[cassie]

So Jenny where are these pictures!!

I'm a "flip flop" lol "thongs" ( the kind you wear on your feet lol ) girl!!! I get really bad exam ion my feet so I avoid wearing enclosed shoes as much as possible

I dnt even own a pair of gumboots! Lol can't find a pair I like lol

 

[lucky lodge]
