My maiden mare is at 354 days today. It is our first baby, out of our first mini, and we have been watching her carefully since day 290.
She has a decent little udder but just the clear sticky fluid, and not much of it. Sometimes it's easily expressed and other times it isn't. She's had the fluid for close to 2 weeks.
Over the past week the mare appears to have gotten much rounder/larger, quite suddenly in my opinion. But sometimes you feel that you are just seeing things when you watch them so carefully!
Other than this - no real signs of progress from what I can tell. Maybe a slightly more V'd shape, not anything dramatic.
I actually did call the vet this AM to see if she thinks it's time she comes out for a wellness check. Haven't heard back yet.
Just hoping others would share their stories and whine along with me, and possibly give me some tips on anything additional to cover with the vet when she does call back.
P.S. I do not think there has been any fescue exposure.
