Sounds good to me, keep us updated and don't forget to take plenty of pics. Lol

Have you got someone you can phone and ask for help if you have to wait for the vet? Cassie rang Renee of Anyssa Park i think

 

[lucky lodge]

yer but would take them twenty min to get to my place ...so iam pretty well on my own..my husband is here but he knows nothing about horses apart from thay cost money LOL sorry as for talking to someone on the phone ill ring the vet and talk to saffire...

 

[Eagle]

Personally I am hoping to ring Anna or Diane as they have way more experience than my vet with minis and I am sure they would have helped me save my filly this year.

P.s don't tell them cos they don't know yet that i might be ringing them in the middle of the night. Lol

 

[lucky lodge]

got the complete book of foaling ,,book today iam just reading it now,,

man iam starting to sh#t my self now all the things that can go wrong

 

[Eagle]

Don't worry, it will all be fine. What is she doing now?

 

[lucky lodge]

she cant stand still walking around kicking her belly and she,s digging a hole and pooing lots

 

[MeganH]

Sounds like it could be soon!! Come on Saffire!!

 

[lucky lodge]

if she,s in labour how long should this last

 

[Riverrose28]

How long will it take for vet to get there, if it's longer then 30 min. you may want to call them now. Once she begins to sweat it will only be a few minutes, then she should break water and get down to contractions, by then it may too late to call the vet.

 

[minifreishorsefarm]

Sounds like she will foal very soon. Prayers for a safe delivery. Just keep calm and you will do fine.

[Eagle]

if she is pooing a lot and it is mushy it will be very soon. As Riverrose said it is probably a good idea to call vet now.

Good luck

Jenny you posted over an hour ago so I imagine that you have a new foal by now?????

Come on!!! let us know as we are all worried

 

[Riverrose28]

Yes, it's been over an hour, wish I could climb on down through the computer. I hope all is well.

 

[Eagle]

Me too Terry, I do hope all is well

Maybe Jenny is in the stable playing with her new baby
