    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Good spot-I always think my photos are too dark to see details! I've noticed the edema for maybe a week. Chicken pox is thankfully all gone, though it didn't stop my daughter hanging out with her ponies all week!

    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Hi Ryan, sorry for the late reply-I've been under the cosh to get finished demolishing the interior of my farmhouse ready for the plasterers to put everything back together, plus, we've been visited by the Chicken Pox Fairy, so the last couple of weeks have been intense!! So, short answer: still...

    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Hate to admit it, but thats one of my garden areas (not the clover one)!! It was too long to mow and I couldn't face strimming it all so the girls got let loose for 15 minutes a day on it.. Its back to being a garden now. my belly woes all began with me worrying that she was getting too fat and...

    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Nope, it's only 60 euros plus the visit, but it was my vet who recommended to just watch and wait instead! The rather silly reason I haven't had a test is that I feel like we're seeing our vet all the time anyway ( she's treating our border collie for cancer, he's doing great, but we have a lot...

    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Thanks for the help again. She lives out, so her diet is all grass, with new any exposure to rich pasture being added by increment each day. Ive been following your advice about putting my arms around her belly but so far Ive felt nothing. Yesterday when she was laid down it did look like things...

    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Thank you again for your replies! I finally contacted her old owner and he reckons she's never foaled, but also couldn't help me with whether she's been in the company of a stallion, so I wasn't too confident in him. She doesn't look so wide from behind today. I have taken a thousand photos...

    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Hello all. I have been quietly following the forum and observing my girl and her boobs for three past few weeks and driving myself mad. Well, this evening we have white liquid from her teat. Could it be anything but milk?! She is being an absolute darling this week, very cute and cuddly.

    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Thank you all so much for all your advice; I knew this form would totally rock! I have contacted a dentist so hopefully both of my babies will have lovely smiles and perfect mastication soon. I did think Ellie had fairly long teats going on - I have no point of reference with my big mare...

    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Thanks! I think she's pretty cute too and she's just the cuddliest pony I've ever met. One of the vets checked them in Feb and said that they were fine, but I've not had the dentist out yet. It's probably something I should put on my list!

    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my worries!! I checked her this evening, her spine can be felt, hips not really and it appears that she doesn't own any ribs (I tried for a good while to find any under the fluff, but she's definitely got adequate padding over them!). I'll pass by...

    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Hi, thanks for your reply! She's up-to-date with her worming, I've had to worm and reworm both girls in January because my draft horse came to me completely infested. I've never seen anything like it (she was on her way to the butchery; they're supposed to be up-to-date with their wormers if...

    Hello all! I'm looking for a little bit of advice about my lil potbellly girl..

    Hello Everyone! I am new to the forum, but have been reading it for a little while! I am a new owner of this little one, Élégante. Here's a bit of her backstory.. She will be 4 next week and came to me through my local riding school, who had recently bought her from a dubious character. She was...
