My 18 year old mare is 282 days today. She has been down rolling - and I have been walking her. I think this is just a mild colic, but I am extremely anxious as last year her foal malpresented and died and then she prolasped.
Her bag was flat when I checked Sunday, but is now beginning to fill. She does not look dropped and has not softened in the tail.
Question - just how soon CAN a mini deliver?? - I wasn't looking for a foal until April 20 - 320 days.
Also, it is time for worming and vaccinations. I am afraid to do either of these if she is colicing - should I just wait until the colic passes and then worm and vaccinate as usual?
Last year was my first foal and a horrible way to start. I know there is a lot of experience out there on this forum, so I appreciate your advice.
