Hey Cassie - great to see you back here, we've missed you!!

Sorry have been 'missing' from here for a few days - we are having trouble with the phone lines and internet in this area right now. It seems to be working at the moment but I may 'disappear' again if they haven't properly sorted the problem out! And what a time to lose the internet, I've been so frustrated, imagining all these expected babies arriving and me not able to see or offer congratulations! Looks as though they might all have been waiting for me to become 're-connected' though LOL!!

Sending good thoughts in your direction Lexi for a safe foaling!

 

[cassie]

we think Melody is in first stage labour, rolling pawing yawning, down sternal more rolling...
Lexi is on her way down to the stable now just in case... also Melody has down lots of poops really quick
fingers crossed for a safe foaling very soon Lexi, more yawning...

Hi Aunties!!! So sorry for the late update, hope you all forgive me!!

Melody foaled yesterday morning at 6:25 am, the birth was lovely and super quick! So amazing!! She had a lovely palomino pinto colt, and his face markings actually surprised me a bit! I love how half of his face is palomino and half is white. His right eye is blue, and can't tell what his left eye will be yet. Looks like a deep hazel/green, but I am sure that will change. He was super active right away, actually during the delivery when he was half out he was already wiggling all around in the sack LOL.

He has had some trouble pooping, and was given a baby enema as well as a mineral oil/warm water one again last night. He passed regular meconium yesterday morning a couple of times after the enema but then continued to strain. Got another half of the baby enema bottle, and passed very hard stone like meconium poops. My vet will be back out in a couple of hours this morning, wishing he could pass it all on his own but that does not seem to be the case… Anyone have trouble like this before? I am told by a friend who is a long time breeder that colts tend to have more trouble with meconium/impactions than the fillies do. Just really hoping once the vet leaves this morning that the little boy no longer has to strain.

No name yet, so any suggestions are welcome!!! He was born with TONS of hair, and his legs have so much he looks more like a lamb or llama LOL. So cute and fluffy!!

Also have a video of his first time standing up!
