Kate's foal watch..Its a Colt! pics!!

[kehranc]

wow those udders have filled right up .. Well done Kate !!!!...I think we might definitely get a foal soon ...

 

[Bonny]

No changes this am. I am betting on 2 weeks yet

I just finished her babies foal blanket, got my foaling kit ready to go. Have the vet wrap ready for her tail, 2 boxes of milk test strips on hand, 3 bales of cheap hay for stall bedding......

Cant wait to see my first Riot foal !!!!!! This foal should be so nice!!

 

[AnnaC]

You forgot the desperate dash for a quick loo visit Diane!! LOL!! And yes - stuff mouth with hay - ooops I'd better have this baby - lay down and push, baby out - glance round at it and continue finishing the mouthful of hay!!

 

[Bonny]

Kates udder is down a tad tonight. I hope its bursting by morning

 

[countrymini]

Between Molly and Kate, we have to see a baby soon!

Day 307

Well this am Kates udder has grown much larger, however it still has a decent separation line in the back. Her V isnt quite ready yet.

She does have the penguin walk going on, lol.

 

[Bonny]

Lol!!!

And today Kate has spent a lot of time in her stall by her own choosing Typically she will stay out as much as she can by the other horses.

Udder decreased ever so slightly today during the day.

I will be doing a 10 pm check and again at 12 am.

I tested her this am and her calcium was high, so was her ph. 500 on cal and 8.4 ph.

Depending on how she looks I may test her again tonight, her udder looks no where near her foaling udder but with her acting different I dont want to miss a quick change if she decides to try and sneak one past the goalie!

 

[JAX]

" if she decides to try and sneak one past the goalie! " LOL great way to put it!!

 

[Bonny]

Hehehe

all same at 10 check. May check at 4 ish depends on the weather we are to get bad storms. if not will check in the am

 

[jessj]

Come on Kate....Christmas baby!!!

 

[Bonny]

Same ole udder as the past few days this morning. New tummy pic, she is rounded out again

[Bonny]

Wow, we have a heck of a thunderstorm going on. Kates in her stall..

 

[Bonny]

Well after the storm I let Kate out for a couple of hours, she is so grouchy and has started picking fights with the other horses over the fence. So she is back in for the day. Serious grouchy-ness today!

 

[AnnaC]

Grouchy is good!! But I would let her stay out if possible during the day - or let her have the choice - so important that they have plenty of gentle exercise at this time.

Looks as though Kate will win the foaling race!

 

[Bonny]

I have been letting her out, she has chosen to stay in most of the past 2 days. Today she has just been extra nasty towards the other horses. Hopefully tomorrow she will be in a better mood. Good thing is I let her out front for a bit and she enjoyed munching on the green winter grass. I think I am going to start walking her daily letting her graze on it a bit. I think that will help her in a lot of ways

 

[kehranc]

Poor thing she is probably totally over it ....hahahahaha

 

[Bonny]

I will be checking Kate at midnight tonight. Though I dont expect any changes

......

Mean while Nana, the goatie is making changes, her udder is slowly growing, and got yall some new tummy pics of her this evening...The pictures made me Laugh...poor Nana!! Now thats a lopsided tummy!

[Bonny]

Nana (goat) her udder is slowly getting fuller daily, I was thinking she was due in Feb but might be in in Jan, she was pasture bred, so I could be off.

Ok here are this mornings pictures on Kate
