Hi there,
I have a riding pony mare, who I bought along with two other broodmares a couple of years ago. All three mares were put into foal, and scanned at 16 days, then 45 and all successfully in foal. However 'Tranqs' never ended up foaling, so somehow along the pregnancy she must have lost her foal. However in September 2010, she was bred again, vet came out to scan her no foal.. Then 28th december 2010 she was bred again and my vet was on holidays so I didn't have a chance to get her scanned. So its now the 8th of December 2011, and she has a few signs of pregnancy, but I'm not entirely sure. She has begun to develop an udder, not in the teats, but just in front of them. Her udder has never been this size before. Also, what made me begin watching her is how much her belly has increased in size lately.. also she is extremely soft around her rump area, and in the past day or so, her vulva has become very elongated and a reddish colour inside. She has become extremely lazy also, trotting is a struggle for her and she is usually galloping around the paddock. I have just tried to milk her this morning and her milk came out very easily and it was whitish with little yellow blobs in it? not sure if that is normal? Also, in the past two days her belly has almost dropped. Anyway, let me know what you all think
