Preggo mares udder question

[Dee]

Well I don't know how to really describe this, but i noticed on our pregnant mare who is huge, but not bagged up that before on her teats she had 2 white dots, but today they are still white, but the ducts seem to be like open.

We bred this mare 7 years ago and she didn't really bag up till she delivered. Anyone know if that's a good sign??

It's s long story but we got this mare back after selling her and she came back bred, but the previous owner doesn't know that breeding dates.

I know it will come when it's the right time. We have been watching her like a hawk. I'm leaving for Dominican on the 30th and will be so bummed if she doesn't pop before that cause I'll miss it. I'm leaving the video camera for my parents so I can see the Lil munchkins first steps! I'm just like a kid at Christmas and excited for this mare to be done being pregnant forever! Ugh I wanna give her an epideral!!!! Lol

I hope yours pop soon! Please post pics!

Your mare looks close to me - not too easy to tell with all that coat though, bless her! Has she any other signs - vulva, loose tail etc? What I think you are seeing on the end of her teats is the tiny bit of 'crusting' that a lot of mares get (I always liken it to the 'sleep-dust' that can often be found in the corner of your eyes when you wake in the mornings! LOL!) It doesn't mean that she is waxing/about to wax - but then, as has been said, all mares are different and she may be moving towards waxing/foaling???? These ladies just love to keep us guessing dont they!

I would just keep a good eye on your girl - I hope she foals before you go away.

Other signs she has is a puffy vulva, mushy butt muscles and she had been holder her tail up this last week. Does she look dropped?

Thanks u guys!!
