Quick question? Are all horse's teats the same?
ok...when trying to check to see if my son's pony is "bagging up"...I checked her, but I don't know how she was in the beginning. So, I checked Angel's (qh/arab mare..she's definitely not preg, and can't get pregnant). She is slack and soft. The pony's, the nipples are like angel's, but she is a lot fuller behind the nipples if that makes any sense. Her whole, I guess it's her bag? is swollen. This is hard to describe...lol...do you think that would mean she is "bagging up"?
And how long do you have from the "bagging up" time?
btw..vet comes out on Thursday.
Here's another picture of her. Dry this time

They are all different. Has she had babies before? I have a mare thats always bagged up looking. But yes,you say that behind the nips is getting bigger. Then she is starting to bag up.You will notice later that she might get white specks on her nips which is normal. Then if she waxes you will see that on the end of her nips. Which means she is pretty close to having it. Once in awhile you'll run across a mare that will drip milk a week before she foals. If you are gonna bred her again you should write all this down then the next time you kinda have something to look back on. If she foaled easy ect.. Lets us know what the vet has to say. Good Luck!!

Thanks mare. I bought her in February from a man who bought her 1 month earlier at an auction. So I have no idea about any of her history. But I'll let ya know what the vet says.

It sounds like she could be bagging up. Could you possibly post a few pics? That might help. I bet you'll be glad to get the vet out there and find out for sure, huh?!
