April / Delilah / Vernica's Foaling thread Cam Up

[a mini dream come true]

This little Dashound is very small. She may weigh 5 lbs at the very most. I have never seen one as small as her. Cocoa is the color of cocoa and slick haired. The rest of mine are long haired and almost double her size. I am so proud or her to be having one puppy. She won't be having anymore though. Most of the time dashounds have three or four. That is a pretty normal litter. When I can get her to quit hiding I'll take a pic of her and Dudley and you will see the size diffenence.

. This little one was a slip-up on my part. I missed her cycle and didn't know she was preggers

. not what I wanted to happen. At least she is ok and didn't have any problems!

Udate on Delilah. I think I'm seeing some changes in her not a lot but some softness around the tail still no bag. Here's the latest pic I too this afternoon after we had our little outing.

I'don't think she is going to get wide. Seems like Delilah is carring all in the middle what do you think? this nest pic was taken on 12/11/11 nearly a month ago.

 

[lucky lodge]

well she getting that nice v shape and starting to soften around the tail

i reackon she,s got maybe a month to go ...can you take some udder photos for us

i cant remember but is this her first foal

 

[a mini dream come true]

It's not her first foal, but I'm not sure how many she has had. I'll try to lake an udder pic tomorrow, but there is not bag.

The new pics of Lady are great. She is looking so good. I'm not sure about color so I can't help you with that.

Yep Hazel I see progress but from theses pics it looks like she still has quite a way to go yet. bwdik

Renee, I was thinking the same thing last night while looking at the pics together. I've been going by the numbers of what I was told, but from what I see I am wondering if it will be February or March. This is all so confusing and frustrating

:frusty . I can feel foal movement and sometimes see it. Rosie and Chablis that are due this month (basically this week) look wider from behind than Delilah and of course she doesn't even have a bag starting.

. I don't want a repeat of last year

ray . Question. Would ya'll be able to tell more if you could watch her on camera? I'm thinking yes,bwdik. I am just ready to pull my hair out

.

Hazel judging by what little Miss Suzie did to us all the answer to your question is " probably not"

Of course us Aunties would be very pleased if we could watch her on cam and would willingly help you get some rest but that is up to you.

I think she will get wide like all minis and then slim down just before birthing as the foal gets into position. You will also probably notice a difference in her character as many mares get all clingy and cuddly before foaling. Have you thought about testing her milk when she starts to bag up? I know Anna doesn't agree with me on this one but I found it very helpful with my high risk mare. Having a family I can't afford to loose too much sleep (I get grumpy)

and the milk test allowed my to relax and not miss her foaling. My mares are all very good about being touched all over and didn't really even notice me faffing around down there as I did it whilst they were eating.

Can you take a pic from behind so we can see how she is?

Just read back as I couldn't remember her dates and if she ran until February with the stallion she could be one of those darn mares that doesn't bag up until after! What does her hooha look like Hazel?

 

[a mini dream come true]

Thanks Renee, I'll go take some pics now and get them posted so you can see. brb

 

[Eagle]

good girl.

 

[a mini dream come true]

I just took new pics and I just don't know. I'm not seeing what you'd expect by now.

Since I've gotten her I have not found anything that would indicate that she has lost the foal. I know I've felt foal movement, but looking at the pics am even second guessing myself on that now. Any suggestions?

 

[Eagle]

She doesn't look anywhere near to foaling so is it possible that she was with a stallion later than Feb? Did they tell

when you bought her if a pregnancy test had been done?

 

[a mini dream come true]

Oh and here is a couple of pics of April due May 28th

She is due a trip to the farrier. Overdue actually.

And of course Peanut. she wants attention also. She is our boxer.

 

[Eagle]

Yes she is much bigger than Delilah. I would try and get her feet done asap as the extra weight on long toes isn't a good combination

 

[Eagle]

Has anyone seen

lately? Perhaps if you post another puppy pic our teacher will turn up

 

[a mini dream come true]

yes definately. The holidays through me way off. The daughter's new boyfriend tried to trim her fooves and he didn't take near enough off. He may be good, but I think April's feet were something new to him. He did a good job on the others. Bless his heart. He is used to big horses with no problems. April's tend to curve in at the heel. The rest of the minis looked great after he got finished, but April will be going to Blane this Friday.

OH OK I'll get a pic. Maybe that will do the trick.

:rofl

This is a quote "According to Jacqui Hyden, Irish Creek Falabellas, Delilah was bred to Tamboro b/w July 2010 and February 2011 as she was kept in the pasture with him. "

" I will send all of the paperwork including the stud certificate. I can't wait to see Delilah's foal. I will attach a photo of Tamboro with with email."

I know that the first health certificate was fixed in March of 2011. she was travelling to somewhere. I have that, but I'm not too sure on some of the rest of it. I have not received the papers yet

:frusty

. I'm not sure how long the previous owner had her.

Should I get a wee foal and try that?
