Okay, so some of you may know that I just aquired my first two miniature horses. Batman is a 2 year old black and white tobiano soon-to-be gelding. Robin is a 5-6 year old sorrel and white mare. They have been together for the past year at least. I was told that he had not dropped and that is why they had not gelded him. The first thing I did when I went to see him was feel around to see, and sure enough, he HAS dropped.
I called my vet today to see if she had a way to check Robin to see if she is in foal. She said that she hasn't had the best of luck with miniatures, but she can come out and do an ultrasound on her and see if we can see anything.
The best part of all this? I asked her what she charges for an ultrasound. She said, "well I normally charge $45 dollars, but since I don't normally have the best of luck with them, I will just do it for you so we can see"
I was ecstatic to hear that it was only $45! LOL. I told her that I was afraid she would say $200 so I would gladly pay $45, lmbo
But, she just laughed and said nah, she doesn't go crazy.
So, anyway, we are waiting for this crazy wind to die down and then she will come out and do an ultrasound to see what we can see
I have been working on feeling for a bag, but Robin isn't very tolerant. Today, I haltered her and tied her up and distracted her with treats so I did get closer that I have before before she would get annoyed. There is a good bit of "puffiness" infront of the udder but only a little, if any swelling in the udder itself. I still haven't been able to get a good enough feel to tell for sure though. I took a picture the other day which shows no swelling at all...and I swear I felt more today than the picture showed a couple of days ago, but I don't know for sure.
Anyway, here are some pics of the Fatosaurus...Oh, and I might add that she is quite overweight...so that maybe all that this is...
From behind.
Side shot.
Front.
The only udder shot I could get...doesn't help that they hair is in the way
Batman.
So, anyway, I will be updating this once this once the vet comes out an does an ultrasound...in the mean time, what do you think? Preggo or not??
