Heather...just wondering if the puppy cam is shut off as I can't bring it up...also do you have to submit more than one name for each pup like we have to do with the CKC?

No she's not a maiden she had a foal last yr(her 1st) it died,her previous owner said the filly couldn't get out of the sac and they couldn't get to her in time.

Is she a maiden mare?  I would keep a close eye on her.  I hate to keep them locked in unless I have to, but I like to err on the side of caution.  I would probably keep her in and walk her or let her out in a small area daily while you supervise.  Exercise is good. :) (as you watch Striker loaf in her stall for a week) lol

Heather,I can feel the foal moving in my mares belly,she has a bag(not really big)warm to touch and tight at times,but I still can't get any milk. Also the past 2 days she is constantly picking at the other mares,going off by herself and just standing around,should I be keeping her in her stall all the time now?(due April 1st)

CONGRATULATIONS Victoria!  How exciting.  Welcome to the world of no sleep, lots of stress and ultimate joy!! LOL  I am not a pro but I will share all I know, for whatever it's worth.

 

We only blanket if it's apparent that the foal just can't get warm.  We had two babies borth within hours of each other on the 24th of this month.  It wasn't cold, but it was chilly.  One filly was fine and didn't require a blanket or heat lamp.  The other filly couldn't stop shaking. We had to put a blanket on her and a heat lamp.  Then we felt badly for the first filly and put a heat lamp on her just in case, but it really wasn't necessary.  So just play it by ear, but be prepared.

 

If you can feel movement she is getting close to term.  With the nipping of her belly that's a sign too that she is uncomfortable too.
