This morning we had the vet out for Dream, she is a "high maintance" mare, she has Protein Loosing Enteropathy and an overactive Thyroid so she is somewhat high maintance. She came here in June from a farm that dispersed here in Ohio. She is a really special mare to me. Anyway, we had the vet out this morning as she was acting really "off"....when a "PLE Attack" comes on..it comes on with all the signs of a severe colic (not a colic..), which she was showing this morning except she was passing manure very often, brought her in and got the vet out and he treated her. I took off work today to stay home and keep an eye on her. She seemed okay. All day today watching her like a hawk. This evening i was cleaning stalls and put her in the roundpen while i cleaned her stall but as soon as i put her outside she started acting off once outside, really prancy and laying down..getting up..laying down getting up and rolling over on her back and just laying there on her back, so i brought her in and put her in a clean stall and ran up to the house to grab my phone to call the vet as i wanted to take her in which was what the vet said to do if i didnt see a change by this evening. By the time i got back out to the barn about 8 minutes later her water had broke and she was laying down with the foal delivered
. Vet was out to check her out agian after she slipped the foal...she is doing well.
It should be about three months along exactly..she was bred June 21-28th...this would be Narko's first foal..an angel foal
.
So disapointing...this was going to be my keeper foal next year..this was the cross i was most excited for. Was going to take Dream to nationals next year and show her in the broodmare class too
and was planning this foal to go to nationals next year. Im very glad that Dream is okay, i'd rather loose the foal this early then loose this mare..she is one of my most faverite mares.
It was a colt too ...all sexual organs were there...lips were developed and nostrils hooves...ears were almost completely developed. No hair or fuzz at all. I do not know why she aborted...i pay extra attention to this mare because of her PLE and Thyroid but i guess some things are just out of our hands ..
Size compared to a hoof pic, foal would be 3 months along...does this look normal size to you? I figured it would be larger by now..sire is 32" and dam is 32.5"
This was not Dreams first foal...she had a foal early this year too that the breeders lost just prior to weaning
