Our fifteen year old mare (3 time world halter champ thanks to Renee of Lucky Hart Ranch) has been keeping us guessing all summer. Her last breeding date is July 24, 2004.....so we figured she had a false pregnancy and was keeping on the weight.
Well, we checked her on Saturday and WOW, she had a huge bag on her and...
No V-shaped belly
No saggy coup
No elongated vulva
Well, this morning, this poor gal was so HUGE and a constant dripping came from her teats. Our autistic son, David, made me promise to take our mare to Dr. Lisa for an ultra sound because she looked so uncomfortable with that HUGE BAG!
I trailered up Nissi an her friend, Amira, to have the vet look at them. Figured a good trailer ride just might "shake things up a bit". The vet ultra sounded the mare in question, both internally and externally.....too big to get a "reading". The vet checked Amira and said she's ready at any time.
QUESTION: HAVE ANY OF YOUR MARES KEPT YOU GUESSING LIKE THIS?
At the moment, Nissi has sagged about an inch AND David just checked her tailset and said that it's loose.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
