    Anyone use Ultrashield Green on a baby?

    Poor Sterling is rubbing parts of his face raw from being itchy from flies. We have a Mr. Stinky up, use fly predators, and remove poop, but the few flies we have love Sally's and Sterling's face. Sally has a fly mask which Sterling regularly pulls off. She has Appy eyes, poor thing. I am...

    Preggers or Fat????

    This is Petunia who we have had since November 2019. She was huge when we got her. She's on a straight Bermuda diet, and she really doesn't eat that much! She's gained about an inch a month. We had our vet do a blood pregnancy test. It came back positive, but the vet said the timing wasn't right...

    How do you handle flies on a new mama?

    Poor Sally is having a terrible time with flies with her Appy eyes. Sterling, her colt, is three weeks old. Is it safe to spray Sally with fly spray? I have a fly mask on order for both of them. Is it safe to put a fly mask on a foal?

    Are Contractions Always Obvious?

    Sorry about the dumb question. I am watching Sally on a baby monitor. The vet said to call when I see contractions (he only lives ten minutes away). Tonight, she has been laying flat out a lot. This is new for her. She usually has her head up and front legs tucked under. Yesterday morning, her...

    Ready Now?

    Sally tested 6.4 last evening on Maybe Baby. She was very antsy last night: lots of yawning, walking around, getting up and down, and rubbing on walls. She is also breathing more heavy than normal. S She is not eating this morning, which is a first for her. I sent this picture to our vet, and he...

    Couple Questions Re Mini Foaling

    I have assembled what I can for a foaling kit. Questions: Would mineral oil be safe to use if I need a lube? Of course, I can't get my hands on any K9 Jelly or vet gloves. And, do all of you break open the amnio-bag at presentation, or only interfere if there is a problem? And lastly, is...

    Do all mares produce milk before foaling?

    Hello again! I am SO BLESSED to have found this forum! Our little girl, Sally, who we adopted from a rescue when she was already preggers, does not have any milk that we can express even though she is pretty baggged up. Our vet examined her on 4/14 and said we should have a baby within a month...

    New to This and Foaling Soon

    Good morning! My husband and I adopted a mini horse who had been on her way to becoming zoo food. The rescue told us that she was pregnant, and that when she arrived at the rescue, she was skin and bones. She is not so thin anymore, but her skin is thick. The vet said that was because she had...
