Haven't posted on this thread yet, although I've been watching it continually and thinking of you and Saffire! Be sure when this is over, to express your appreciation for vet #2 -sounds like a good vet who truly cares about the animals!

That a girl, Saffire!!

So glad you are in touch with the new vet and she is being helpful!

Best wishes for Saffire and her mama!

Saffire is probably having pre-labour twinges Jenny - remember she is new to this and therefore she may react more 'sharply' to internal movements, as against an older experienced brood mare.

So glad your new vet is going to be on standby for you and is willing to help.

I don't understand something. What is keeping the new vet from seeing the mare? If that was discussed I've missed it in all the pages of stuff. If she's going to "be there" she obviously makes farm calls, so why can't she come out today or tomorrow or the next day to examine her in person. Plus, it would be VERY advisable for the vet to have been to your place and seen the mare prior to any emergency situation.

Oh ladies you are not alone on this one, I'm sitting here with a busch beer in one hand and a cig in the other, don't know how I'm typing! wish I could help with this one cause I know the owner is so stressed. Being on the other side of the world is exciting and frustrating all at the same time.
