As excited as Kitty about to be a bridesmaid
.....she is 6 1/2 months in foal
Sent her to stallion last June, breeding peeps will remember me posting that she would not stand to allow stallion to cover her (she was running with stallion) so I though I would have to go down AI route.
Anyway, turns out she has insulin resitance and contracted lammi straight after the attempted covering, so to be honest the idea of breeding from her was then crossed off the list.
So we never got her scanned as a) she wasn't covered & b) my vet advised that even if she was covered, and if she had conceived the lammi related hormones etc would have seen the little fella off!
Pony was a bit poorly last night, v mild colic symptoms so vet came this pm (did talk to him last night & first thing but she was not really colicking, just not 'right' so he decided visit was good idea) and had a listen and said he was going to do an internal..... jokingly I said, 'oh good you can check there is not a foal in there' up goes the hand, and vet say 'yes well there is a foal, its kicking and squirming about lots'
Jaw.floor.
So fingers crossed, mare picked up a bit now she has had some drugs (foal friendly ones) but we still don't know what is up with her, she doesn't seem to be aborting or colicing, just is not right. Will be getting results of her bloods tomorrow so everyone keep stuff crossed for poor black pony & her sneaky stowaway foal
