Baby Doll may be pregnet!

HorseCraza · 09-13-2004, 09:00 AM

Baby just keeps getting bigger and bigger. We ride her often, so she shouldnt be getting fat. Is there a way to tell if she is pregnet with out getting the vet out there? If not we will call the vet.

Nope I would say call the vet to find out.

Did you get this one from the auction??? If so I would say more than likely she is pregnate!

Yes, if you don't really know her history I would call a vet to check it out. Have you wormed her?

firstly thought have a think is there anyway she could be pregnant if there is i would say its best to call the vet

you could also have a feel of her tummy to see if there is a little person moving in there!!

good luck

I don't think so. We had something similar happen. We bought a mare and didn't realize she was preggers. The vet came out and tried to palpate her but couldn't. The second vet took some blood which confirmed the pregnancy - it could only tell us that she was more than 5 months pregnant. We still were in the dark as to when she would deliver.

Good luck to you.

we bred my mare and we didnt want to pay $500 for a altrasound(sp?) so the vet told us to get a humans pregancy test for her. its like 95% right. and it said she was. and 2 days ago the vet was out and did a blood test and she is pregant. so i'd try that , they're like 10 bucks
