Strange maiden mare

[Eagle]

All sounds normal to me

 

Normal to me too!!! She's doing very well!!

Today was again a very calm day. Everything seems to be the same.

Have you ever had a horse that had her foal when the PH level was not down around 6.4 ?

Some mares can drop very fast, a mare here a week or so ago dropped in four hours and foaled. You need to look at the whole picture, her vulva should change colour from pink/salmon to dark red, her tummy will drop into a "V" and move forward and her hooha will get longer and swell.

Hope this helps

How about posting a few more pics

 

[Sandravm]

I'm going to do that right away.

Here they are. She was just relaxing.

She has been whole day outside.

What do you think?

She's now on day 321.

She looks just about ready to foal to me - could be very soon or maybe a few more days. Notice that her nipples are beginning to separate now from your last pictures, so she's moving forward perfectly.

I agree Anna, her hooha and tummy look perfect and her udder is coming on wonderfully. You are in the last stretch now so keep a close eye on her

 

ALL very positive changes!!! Looking good!

Yesterday evening her temperature was 37,7°C and this morning and now 36,9°C.

 

Keep us posted!!!

How's she doing?

 

Any updates??

We had a mare this year that stayed at 7.6, even three hours before foaling. She could have dropped after that, but that was the last time we checked her. When we went in to monitor her foaling, she stood up after giving birth and she had wax on her teats. Things can happen very fast!

Still no foal yet. Last night she was very quiet and this whole day too.

PH is still around 7.2. The nipples seems to come more out, and milk is not clear anymore. It's not white either.

We will see what tonight brings.

 

Sounds like she's moving forward. Her pH is low enough it could drop suddenly and it sounds like she's doing just fine.

How is she this morning?

 

[Sandravm]

She still the same. Now she's outside, but don't like any company at all. Will make new photos tonight.

 

Can't wait to see them!

Here are the photos.

Last night she gave quiet a few times fals alarm. The foal was moving sometimes very wild and she was rolling a few times too.

We will see what today brings.
