My mare had been quite the loner today, standing away from the herd. She wasnt "due" until March 21 though, so I'm a little concerned. She is a maiden so I do not know how she carries. Her vulva is stretched, her uscles around her tail are somewhat relaxed and squishy, but she doesn't have much udder development. I can get about 4-5 drops, I tried today so I could attempt to test her. Her milk is quite clear, too. She also didn't eat her food tonight and seemed somewhat lethargic and I could see and feel her foal moving a good bit inside. I didn't think she would foal, especially judging by her udder, but I did read that some mares, especially maidens, may not get much until right before or shortly after foaling. Her temperature was 99.7 degrees Fahrenheit. Her vagina was also somewhat darker than my other mare who isn't bred, and her vuvla was about 1 to 2 inches longer than my other mares as well. She has been quite large throughout her pregnancy as well. I will get some pictures and post as soon as I get them.
Lol right now (as I secretly spy from above lol) she's constantly switching which leg to Rest, still swishing her tail, has peed a good bit all small amounts, her stool is really loose, and she's fairly alert. I went down there once and she did NOT want me by her. So still have my hopes up! I'll let everyone know as it goes. Oh, she keeps walking circles too, going to her hay, then stopping, then she'll go back. Circles about 4x every 5-10 minutes.
She's in her first stages, if I'm able to sneak around her without her noticing I will, though the lights downstairs are off so she is more comfortable. I'm not sure if I'd be able to get clear ones. I'll try though Posted via Mobile Device
We're on again tonight, her milk is getting quite white and she has A LOT of it. Tested her again and changed within 5 seconds. She's even showing signs all day and has broken a sweat so hopefully it'll be tonight!! I'll be sure to keep everyone updated! Posted via Mobile Device
