She is very pretty, beautiful eyes. I like the dappling that shows too. She doesn't look very big that if for sure. Not from that angle anyways. It amazes me at how large some of the mini's look when pregnant and others not at all. Who was the sire of her last years colt? Tracy MI

I am taking Bonnie to another vet tommorow. He is going to try ultrasounding her from the outside. He has two ultrasounds, a portable and a regular one. He can't promise we will be able to tell but he is going to give it a try and if that doesn't clear the mystery up, I may just have him draw...

Milk was not sticky and thin and fairly clear. After what Lyn said, I went back to really look at her bag from underneath and it is fatty deposits in the front, bag is not full and tight like they usually get. She is not loose in the rear end. I thankfully do know to look for all that as my...

She is just 32 inches tall, a little bitty thing and yes she could loose some more weight. : I notice her neck is still fat and other areas as well. when I checked just to see if she had milk I barely tried to express it and it came squirting out all over. Surprised me. I just wondered if...

See her pictures from a couple of weeks ago. And she was just put in the grass for photos, : she is normally in dry lot so this was taken less then five minutes after she was in the grass. So not a big belly from eating all day. : I need to take some more today...

I bought a mini mare who was hand bred on July 4th of 05. When I got her she was a bit chubby so we have been working on getting some weight off slowly all winter. Well she looks better but when I clipped her a month ago I thought she didn't look due in June so I had the vet do a progesterone...

Yup that is little Dickens!! Thanks so much for the info Mary Lou!! I hope he is still doing well wherever he is now. He was a little guy that is for sure. Yes, it was Doug Rampy she would have bought him from. Wish I knew where they all went. They kept asking my sister and I if we wanted to...

Just wondering if anyone knows if "Dickens" is still alive. I can't recall if that is even possible but my sister and I used to take care of him for his previous owners who were distant relatives of ours here in MI. AND he was a Little Dickens back then!! When they sold all of their minis and...

Merry Christmas and Best wishes for a wonderful new year. I was new to this forum this year but I pop in when I can to learn anything new. Because of the wonderful forum members here I traced down My Bonnie's previous owners and missing papers and got her registry up to date. Thanks! Tracy...

Hmmm that is interesting. I really "hate" to look for problems but I have always felt this donkey has something going on...besides just getting cold easily. My sister has an older pony and horse that both have cushings. So just what she needs is a donkey with thyroid issues... ah well they are...

Thanks for the input. He has a heavy blanket but maybe it is time for a new one or different kind? She only has the one. I will tell her to up the grass hay and try that. Still looking into any other reasons. I will say my sister must have good ground/pasture, we always say if our horses need...

That is a bad picture of him. Only one I could find on short notice. He is definatly not thin although I thought the same when I looked at the picture of him. He has fat pads on his butt and his neck is broken from fat deposits. I agree there is no excuse for letting any animal get obese. My...

My sister has owned a Mini donkey for many years. I think he is about 10 now. She also has always owned 2 or 3 full sized horses. Her donkey Scooter gets cold so easy. I say it isn't normal. He has to be blanketed if it is under 30 degrees which is alot here in MI. Or he shivers. He still...

Here is my Bonnie in her Christmas photo. Probably can't use it cause her ears aren't showing? But she is cute huh?? Tracy (Bonnie's Mom) http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5cc3...016102UZMWLVsxo

Here is my Quarterhorse mare, "Treasure". She is a really dark palomino in the spring. Goldens out a bit more by the end of summer. Lightens and Dapples in the winter. I have a new Mini Mare, Bonnie who is a Palomino Pinto. Only Palomino is her head. I don't have any photos of her on line yet...
