    Sometimes it's larger than others, today she didn't look very swollen, but she was still dripping. I'll grab a pic tomorrow

    One last question. How long should it take for her hormones to even back out? It's been 2 weeks and she is still making golden sticky colostrum. Otherwise she's she seems to be doing great.

    Yes, the baby was between 6 and 8 inches. I'm now questioning whether or not I was actually feeling/seeing the baby or just excitedly imagined it. I know for sure I didn't feel that tiny baby. This morning she is up and about. Still having loose stools :/. If it continues through out the day I'm...

    So, this morning she started having cow patty like stools and started producing milk. The vet said everything was fine yesterday and no intervention was needed, but now I'm worried. Will this pass or should I have the vet out again?

    The vet says she'll be fine. Just to watch her closely for depression. She seems her normal self this morning

    Thanks for all of yall's help. Sassy doesn't seem to be in any discomfort. Thank goodness. I took the baby out of the sack and let her see her and sniff her. This whole situation has just broke my heart. I named her Derby and we buried her under a tree by the pasture.

    I'm so confused. I could stand back and watch her stomach move dramatically and feel what I thought was the baby pushing, but I know this tiny baby wasn't doing it. I guess I just imagined it I'm just so sad

    I'm sad to report that she was in labor, but the baby was way too soon. It was a filly only about 6 inches. Is there anything I can do for Sassy. She seems to be looking for the baby and it's breaking my heart

    This morning I found her laying down. She would get up and lay back down. She was shaking and have clear thick discharge. Now she's back up doing her usual thing. Should I be worried or is this normal.trim.DCA2E3DA-AE3E-4833-B2DC-063295583902.MOV

    There haven't been any changes :/ I'm starting to wonder if she is really pregnant. Hopefully, I'll get a day off soon so I can bring her n for an ultrasound.

    She was with a blue eyed paint, palomino, grey appaloosa, one colored similar to her, I can't remember the others' color. She was also with a few mini donkeys, so we could have a mini mule on the way! Her bag is very small today. Is that normal??

    Here are the pics from this morning. She's not as wide today. I still can't figure out how to flip the pic :/

    Thanks guys. I'll get front and back pics of her tomorrow. Also, any idea how to flip my pics??? I only have one other mini, a gelding named Raingo. He's 7 and the sweetest horse I've ever owned. Sassy is enjoying being out of the big herd where she can get lots of hugs and snuggles from my...

    Thanks for the info. I don't have any history on her at all. I have never owned a mare before in my life. I've always had geldings. Luckily, I have large animal vet not far from my house. I'm a nervous wreck. I have a stall I can close her in when the time comes
