Pregnant Mare Syndrome

spyro1 · 05-14-2004, 04:36 AM

This topic is not to offend anyone. Just a general observation. I have noticed a lot of Could my mare be pregnant? Going on lately. If you suspect that your mare is pregnant, please get a vet out to instruct you, we are not vet's here. wink In light of the recent fiasco with one member, I find it very aggravating to give advice and information and then have that member disappear.
Mom's to be should be inspected by your vet as soon as you suspect a lil one hiding in there. One of the *joys* of horse ownership is the unexpected costs of vet calls.

This post was definately needed. Thank you Spy. What ever happened to our pregnany mare from out west? Has anyone heard?

not to make light of the subject (because you are totally right,) but by your topic I was thinking more along the lines of PMS for horses, my gelding suffers from that quite a bit. LOL!

yup, yup, too true, Spy.

QHGirl · 05-14-2004, 08:32 AM

I second or is that third?

I think the same thing, why risk the mare AND foal.

If you are excited AND/OR not... give your horse some respect and get a vet out to confirm the situation.

Yeah, I agree Spy!

It's an epedemic at the minute LOL

You know I agree Spy, very well worded applaud

wonderful post.

I am going to have the vet out, I am sure my gelding is in foal........sorry, my attempt at humor, a bit dry at that

This has been bugging quite some time and thought that it should be addressed

If I had even an inkling that my mare (should I ever buy one..LOL) was pregnant, you bet your sweet behind my vet would be called. I am glad that I am not the only one noticing the *I wanna baby* syndrome!! wink

Yes, well....I think my mare is pregnant. eek!

That would be because I bred her on purpose! hahahahaha We are looking forward to the confirmation when the doc comes in two weeks! Whee hee. This is the champagne mare I bought to breed to my **** . tobi stallion! The only problem is, I have to wait 11 mos to see the results!

Exellent post BTW. I too would not hesitate to call the doc if I bought a mare that I thought was pregers. Unless at the exact momment I asked the question, you happen to have your hand and arm in a strategic place, I do not expect you to know whether or not my mare is pregnant
