Our Yankee having a baby?

BuckinAround · 02-29-2008, 05:05 PM

Thanks for the answer.

Yankee is miserable, I think. Knowing her, anything can go on. I'm going to have her camera up tonight if it lasts. It may stop at times because Yahoo at times "times out". The link is below.

Yankee is the same as this morning. She has white on her teats again but not glossy looking. I think this is just milk slowly seeping. And it is in only the one teat that was dripping before. I thought she was waxed up this morning but now I'm thinking it was just dried milk also from leaking out.
Her belly is very saggy and seem to get closer to the ground each morning.
If I took a guess I would say she weighs about 1350lbs compared to her norm of about 1100. She looks good and starting to see a bit of ribs. I know its not from no food so again I assume sagging and weight is the cause. From the very last rib to her flank is very saggy now and distinctivly sunken like.

The video is not all that great. As the sun goes down it takes about a half hour to an hour for the camera to adjust the lighting issues.

i can view the cam but can't see the mare?

Only half of the area is viewable with the camera. If she is not there and you can see the camera is on, then she is just out of view for the camera.

Had the cam on last night thinking a foal would come. Nothing.

Yankee this morning. She has dried up milk again. Acts miserable.
I'll be turning the cam on again tonight around 6PM PST.

Her tail looks detached from her buttox.

OH, poor girl, she has got to go soon! It will happen when you are not expecting it to! Hang in there!

I know. I do give it my best shot at least every other day. Truly right now I can brush her body. As soon as I go for the tail, it gets a little hairy back there. Seems like I get a swish in the face and then a bit of a stomp. I was wondering even how I was going to wrap her tail. Tail isnt as bad as it looks, alot of it is curly from being braided from time to time. Still needs brushing. Then she likes to roll around right after brushing and that doesnt help much. We just go back and forth on the brushing issues and what works best is either one of two.......1. Brush and pamper me today and 2. I dont want to be touched today.

She is just holding out. I saw the foal move today. Well I didnt see it move but I saw her teats bouncing up and down while she stood still....so definately the foal above.

Ill watch tonight again, probably all nights until she has her foal. Im sure she is due already.
