Precious foaling thread

[Holly]

Day.... I don't know anymore, same udder. No sleep, crossed eyes held open by toothpicks, IV coffee line, flies starting to swarm......

[Suebe]

I highly sympathize for you... it's utterly miserable to wait & wait & wait & wait....

[dcwolcott]

HANG ON!!!!!!  She's almost there!!!!!  Doesn't look quite as wide tonight.  Is baby lining up?

[Holly]

Very easy to get milk to test now. pH 8.4, calcium was 200 last night 400 this morning! I feel a great relief now that I can test.lol

[dcwolcott]

Fabulous!!  That is great news!  Now remember, her values can change nicely, or dramatically.  We've had mares go from the high 7's in pH to foaling in one day, or others nicely go day by day slowing dropping.

I will be waiting excitedly for the next report!!

This kind of news is quite a tease, when the cam is down!  Hopefully, Precious is outside doing some fabulous rolling of that little one into position!!

[dcwolcott]

Back eating her hay, standing in the exact same place as the last time I checked and the cam was on!

Ok Precious.  You're very "Precious" but that little one is just as precious to us!  So what about it?  Soon please....unless you're using the extra time to add more SPOTS!!!!

Think..... or even a fewspot would be great!!

[Holly]

Seems little Ms. Is starting to make changes again. Her right side has plumped up. And pH 8.4, calcium around 400.
Top this morning bottom tonight

[Holly]

Midnight check..... Perhaps, maybe??  Looking more serious!

[Anna]

This is getting rediculous - as I'm quite sure you know!!  I keep leaping to my laptop every morning as soon as I wake to tune in here, ever hopeful   ..............................  perhaps if I miss tomorrow morning something will happen?? COME ON PRECIOUS!!
By the way - you have my full sympathy Holly! 

[dcwolcott]

Resting sternal...poor Holly!!  You have my sympathy too.  Come on Precious!!

[Holly]

I just keep telling myself it's worth it! Lol
She gives me just enough changes to keep me hanging on.
Same pH same calcium.

[Holly]

Testing between 7.2 & 7.5 !!

[Suebe]

So I got the flu, gift from the kiddies lol have'nt been on in a few days sure I missed the birth!!! WTH no Lil one yet <3

[Holly]

Ph back up to 8.4 ... But had a bead of wax. Milk super thick, thicker than Ive seen before, calcium still to low.
Anyone else that milk tests had wax on a mare w/out colostrum ?

[dcwolcott]

With girl, I think I'd move in with her!!!  LOL

We'll be watching, and I'll be she moves ahead now...or she better!!!

Come on Precious!  You did all the fooling around you should according to the mare book, now let's just get this going forward!!  Come on....SPOTS!!!!!
