Stormy's foaling thread

[LittleBittyBritches]

has a yellowish tinge to me... Suzie sometimes tightens up when I try to take pics... so I scratch her heaps she relaxes and lifts the tail then snap I take the pics,

does stormy lift her tail when you give her scratches?? suzie can't tighten it up as much anymore.... when is her due date again? can you feels or see the foal moving much? sorry for the neverending questions LOL

she doesn't really lift her tail for scratching, but she does tighten up a bit. Her due date was yesterday, would have bee 340 days from her last breeding date. i felt/saw the foal move alot last week, but havent the last few days, which makes me a little worried. Maybe I am feeling in the wrong spot, or maybe it's just too crowded in there now.

I would say its the later, suzies baby is most active when she is eating breakfast or dinner... maybe try then?

It is much harder to feel the baby moving in the last week or so, don't worry about it. Also her vulva is a good indication after everything else is in place, you need to get her ph to drop before her vulva will be relevant.

Also milk colour is difficult for me to judge as all my mares have different colours when they are about to foal. It will be sticky and sweet is all I look for.

Fingers crossed it will be soon.

3.08 and she is munching

Kara, does Mommy look like she may have poo poo'd in her water bucket?

I see some poo close by on the floor but her water looks dark to me.

Hope your weather is straightening out.

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

I am getting ready to check it out, and let her out in the pasture for a bit

 

[AnnaC]

Glad all is well Kara - it does make one's heart jump a bit when the cam goes down.

I know I'm sorry about that. We were having crazy winds, lightning, thunder, and it knocked our power out for awhile.

Stormy is in the barn, a poked her a little to see if she jiggled, and she did a little, but i dont have much to compare it too, I will check it tomorrow and see. she definatley was jiggly next to the tail, and around her vulva. But not jiggly above the tail, although it seems more sunken in, if that makes sense??

Madam is laying in her poo, bad girl

 

[cassie]

how is her milk looking kara? when you head out there that is LOL
