Maybe I'm jumping the gun...so Lisa is coming over tomorrow, and we're going to look at Cinnamon to see if she is really ready, or I'm just getting over anxious.
What are the differences between a horse and a donkey when they are ready to foal?? There are differences in how donkeys are shaped when compared to horses, so what should I look for?
I'm looking at:
1) the color of the milk, the ph and hardness levels.
2)her bag...which is there, and firmer than it was, but she doesn't look like a milk cow...and her nipples are long. Milk readily comes out...
3)her rump...instead of a nice flat topline that most donkeys have, her butt is now kind of sloping, and she often holds her tail away from her rump just a little.
4) She occasionally has diarrhea...
5) She's a bit grumpy, and needy...wanting loves...
