<br /><br /><br /> Hi, In the uk it warns not to allow dogs to get hold of ivermectin as it is fatal in some breeds, so I probably would not use an ivermetin based horse wormer, although I know in US Ivermectin is used for heartworm. I wouldnt risk it. With the panacur type, if you look for the...

Bless you, I know exactly how you feel,I had 4 weeks of it too, every night laying down stretching out, grunting and groaning and mothing !! . I hope Meadow goes soon, what do you think her new date is.

Hi, Yes mine went yesterday at 6 in the morning day 363 after keeping me up all night pacing and kicking the box, she finally foaled out in the garden when I turned her out to muck out. A lovely little black filly, which may spot out as she has a few frosty hairs.

I'm still hanging on with you Kay,mine hasnt gone either yet,day 362,has at last got a full hard bag today though and a tiny bit of wax so far, rolling a bit and generally acting a bit weird, she has just wandered into my kitchen so hopefully it will be tonight. Fingers crossed for you too. This...

Hi, well has she foaled yet ?? I am still waiting too, day 360 for me so far.

Regards the foal moving, I have been told many times that is doesnt move hardly at all when you are getting very near the day,especially once it has got into postion. My mare is getting very close nows may be a couple of days to go I think but I have nt seen hers move for 2 days. She has had a...

Hi, I have 3 mini fillies in a 12x12 stable only at night, there are fine with that, there is enough room for them to get out each others way if need be and all lay down at the same time. Never have any problems or injuries. I feed them all together but keep an eye to make sure the speedy eater...

Hi, Well it is reassuring to hear of all the ones that have gone over and still foaled with no problems. This is my first year breeding from my 2 maidens 31 ".and the first foaled at 322 everything fine and my second is still hanging on at 357, has only really starting bagging up properly the...

I wondered whether yours had foaled yet. Regards the dried blood, I keep reading about the " bloody show" which is supposed to be a blood streaked mucus plug thats comes out before foaling, you dont often see it, more like just dried blood around edge, but I just wondered if anyone knew how near...

Still Not arrived, day 353, a bit more of a bag now but no milk. Vulva very slack and swollen today with a little blood around edges, how close to foaling does this normally happen. She is very soft down hind quarters now too. Hopefully she will pop this weekend

Thank you all for your comments, I havent taken my eyes of her for weeks !! I have her on CCTV at night and have done for ages, cant wait for her to foal so I can get some sleep. Is the foal likely to be big as it is a bit late or are they kind of self limiting how much they grow. She is only a...

Hi, My miniature maiden is now on day 349, seems to have gone slack around the tail, fairly swollen vulva but her bag just keeps coming up a bit overnight and then going during the day. I have looked at photos of her from the beginning of April and she had more bag then, but it completely went...
