Hi everyone, so happy to find some free time finally, little overwhelmed lately! Anyhoo...some of you might remember my Haflinger lost her baby at 117 days back in December. Vet came out flushed her uterus and syringed 4 days of antibiotics. We waited a couple months, put her on hormones and bred her again in February. So far so good!!! She's had 3 ultrasounds over that last few months and baby looks wonderful! She's been on Regumate since day 28 and will be taken off of it day 150. This is as a precaution as hormonal problems were not the reason for the aborted fetus.
As for my stupidity here it goes! I was using the latex hospital gloves the first 2 weeks to give her 10 cc of Regumate a day. Those of you that have used it know it's very greasy and thick-ish. However I got sick of putting on those gloves and figured "what's the big deal" it was ipposible to not get a greasy hand dealing with that stuff but honestly I did not have any idea how easily and efficiently progesterone absorbs through skin! Holy sh**! Well, the last two months I hadn't been feeling that great, kind of nauseous and always dying of heat, like unbearable!!! Worst thing was my body felt really achy and when I stood up from sitting, even for a minute I could barely walk the first 20 steps. I can't explain how stiff and painful it was. I literally blew these symptoms off for over two months until I came across an article about handling Regumate without proper gloves...to put an end to this story lol I had a extremely serious amount of progesterone in my body. After 3 days of giving her the Regumate with gloves on my symptoms are about 75% gone. Ugh stupid me!
