I agree. I have to think that with the positive wee foal in Feb and the positive in July that she is closer rather than further to foaling also.

Ok so If I go by 120 days on the Feb 20 positive wee foal that puts her about 282 days. Thats with Stallion #1.

If I go by the 6th months, with stallion #2 then she is about 168-179 days. If so then I have a lot of time left to worry.

If you go with stallion 1, then according to your figures that would put her at a minimum of just about 9 and 1/2 months if you use the 282 days figure. That would mean appox. 6 more weeks left. I honestly don't think you have 6 weeks as she was clearly developing a bag through out the previous month. She is also showing signs that she would be closer than that if I look at everything you are posting about. The tail rubbing, the laying down alot, increase in the amount of stools and the softness of them, the shift in the position of the foal, and the appearance of her rear muscle tone relaxing. I could be wrong, and as I have said before that seeing in person is a bigger indication. But if she were mine, I certainly wouldn't let down my watching at this point as she could go any day. Again, just my opinion from what you are describing.

Still, she is most definately much further along than than what she would show with stallion number 2. There is NO way that she would look this pregnant with stallion number 2 and according to your number of 179, that puts her just shy of 6 months and your vet said that she was at least 6 months. No, my mares start to get wide at this point, but typically I can't see the uneven balance of where the foal is laying at 6 months. In my mind I would definately rule out stallion number 2 just on your vet statement alone.
 
Bonny,

When did you do the FIRST weefoal test? Was it for the first stallion before you got her?

Edited to say:

I just went back in the post and you got a neg. in Jan. so I would say she is only 4 weeks MAXIMUM away from foaling!! Stally #1 was busy in September and October-who knows the actual dates?!

I wsih he could have gotten the prob in further to see the foal. He could only insert his 2 fingers to hold down the back of the probe. So he didnt get deep at all.

I dont know how deep one normally has to go to get a good look but it would be nice to know, as that may shed some insight to how he could see a big uterus and foal membrane only being in about 4 inches. To bad we didnt see little hooves!

If anyone can tell me how far a probe is inserted to see I would appreciate it.

Yes, the first wee foal was in Jan for the first stallion, when it came back neg we brought the second stally, he didnt want much to do with her, then I tested her after he left( about 5 days later) and it was positive.
 
I agree...Shyanne looks great!!!

How many horses do you have anyways?
default_new_shocked.gif
Is Bonny your only mini?
 
Shelly- I only have 2 horses. ShyAnne my 10 yr old Paint mare- cutter bred and my little miss Bonny.

We live on 12 acres North of Houston Texas. My house sits on a 4 acre track with 1 &1/2 acres as a pasture behind the house. We have 8 acres of woods over the creek that runs left of our 4 acres. We built a strong bridge to take the horses and 4 wheelers over to the 8 acres.

My Pasture is in a corner of 2 neighbors pastures. One neighbor has 4 and the other 5 horses. So no loss of horsey company. Thats the other horses you see in the back ground. Bonny is the only mini of them all.

I sent a e mail to weefoal about the last test ( this was before I had the vet out)

This was the latest response:

Bonny

Would you be interested in sending urine to Dr. Henderson in New Zealand? If so, I can put you in direct contact with the lab. They will give you a import number and direct you through the process. Once the sample is at the lab, he can give you an answer and possibly "how far along" based on the hormone levels present. There would be no charge as they like to have urines that offer "problems" or "questions" to help with further development. It is your choice and up to you. I don't know if you have the time to collect more urine and post it off. I have urine cups if you need one. Please let me know.

Thanks,

Susan

This sounds like a good idea and I dont mind helping them out at all!
 
OH Bonny, I would DEFINITELY send in a urine sample ASAP!!!!!! That would be a load off your mind to find out when she is due as well as finding out if there are any possible problems going on that you cannot see!!! Way to go girl

Hi Lisa, glad your back, sorry your sick!

Thanks Shelly pickle is so sweet. She is actually my sons dog.

Bonny has droopy hips today,minimal udder, and she was very sweet today. Maybe because I spent 2 hrs brushing her and letting her graze the yard.

I think a late Aug early Sept baby. We will see!
 
You can sure see that baby has shifted! Hang in there! I would definately send in a urine sample and try and get some answers.
 
Yea, some comparative pics!

July 17th then Aug 2nd

Well as of the last report, Edouard is to give us a direct hit, although I am thankful it is only a tropical storm. We need rain, so that is welcome.

Bonnys udders were about the same still bigger in the am, smaller in the pm. Some mornings bigger than others.

This was yesterday am, I have checked on Bonny but havent taken new pics today. If it a significant difference I will update.

It seems the pocket in front of her udder is bigger now.
