Sable is at 291 days today.
I am thinking that after 300 days is fair game so I am keeping a close eye on her since I don't know her foaling history other than she is now on her third foal.
Now my question is..she has always had fluid in her bag whether she is in foal or not but it has been clear. She has no udder at all at this point, but the fluid has gone cloudy. I realize it is possible for her to foal with no udder or bag up at the last minute or even after foaling, but the ratio of mares that do this is small, so I am expecting her to be in the normal group.
Having said that, has anyone had a mare foal without an udder at all and still have fluid that changes color at the right time?
Also, Sable is very red and loose in the vulva. However, she is not mushy in the back end and she has strong tail resistance. Her belly has also got a dropped appearance.
I guess what I am asking, is should I be watching her as close as I am? I am sure I have lots of time to go, but if she foaled and I missed it, I would never forgive myself.
