Maiden mare

[Ahrena]

How is she doing?

My girl foaled last night, we had to decamp to a hospital as she got really upset on Monday so we called the vet and he had a leg tucked under him but he sorted himself out and it went very smoothly in the end. I hope yours doesn’t keep you waiting too much longer!

 

[Louisa&Chilly]

Hope all is going well?

yes still nothing to report, bag looked like this this morning and I got a bit excited, but it has all disappeared this afternoon

Looking good- you shouldn’t be too far off!

 

[Louisa&Chilly]

Looking good- you shouldn’t be too far off!

do you think?? Even though it’s disappeared??

 

[Louisa&Chilly]

Last night she was restless and ph was 6.8. She’s waxed up a little this morning again, do we think possibly tonight??

 

[TheMule]

pH needs to drop some more and teats need to fill, but that can happen quickly so I would watch her carefully. I'd say you still have a couple of days, but could well be sooner!

A couple of days feels like forever after next to no sleep??! Hopefully it won’t be long, she doesn’t look that ready tonight, she looked more ready last night!!

 

[Ahrena]

How is she doing? My girl hung around at 6.8 for a few days then dropped to 6.4 and foaled that night.

she is still hanging on ? her ph has been about 6.8 for 48hours or so
Although her ph looked like this at 6:30am? Possibly tonight?
she is dripping from her bag, it’s not milk, a cloudy fluid. I’m not sure if this is significant or not..

 

[Clodagh]

I think that will be colostrum? Keep watching! ?

 

[Ahrena]

I’d say you’re pretty much there looking at that! Not that I am in any way experienced but I would be keeping a very careful eye!

 

[Louisa&Chilly]

Do

I think that will be colostrum? Keep watching! ?

do you think? Or is it too watery??

 

[Louisa&Chilly]

I hope so! I’m so tired!!?
Definitely won’t be sleeping tonight I don’t think though..

Yep- she's good to go now! How exciting- good luck ?

so I’ve just had another look.. as she’s dripping from both I tested both teats, one is 6.2 the other is closer to 6.8, will that delay things?! She took a while to drop to 6.2

 

[Louisa&Chilly]

Is this milk?! Or should it be whiter??

 

[TheMule]

Looks like milk to me- I think she'll go tonight ?
