Many of you went through all our drama last year when my mare foaled early at 282 days. Yesterday morning, when I checked her she was about 1/3 of the way full, a drastic change from the morning before. This morning, fuller still
Last year she started bagging up about 11 weeks before her due date then foaled 7 weeks early. He lived for 5 days and I really think if he had been born even just a couple of days later he would have made it. She is 16 weeks out from her due date now so we are about 3/4 weeks ahead of when she started all this last year.
Sigh... I knew going in that we don't have a good chance of a live foal from her and tried not to get my hopes up but I was really hoping that being on the meds from the get-go she would hold off just a little bit longer this time. If she continues on this path, then we won't have a chance
She is on Regumate (since she conceived) and I just put her back on SMZs and Banamine.
Just wanted to share my heartache with you all. This is our only 2010 foal. She is a lovely lovely mare and I would love to have a foal from her. She will be 21 in March and this will be her last baby, regardless of the outcome. If she can just hang on another month and a half before progressing any further we might have a tiny chance....
