Fields Quarter Horses ( Tess & Ella) schreef:Ella is on Cam 1 & 2. She is due this weekend and has become extremely uncomfortable the last few days. Her tail head is extremely soft with no muscle tone. Her muscling has really dropped off her topline, too. The foal has become quiet as he/she is running out of room. Her milk Calcium is testing nearly 250ppu and her PH is testing just above 7.2. Changes from yesterday!!! Her vulva has softened, relaxed, and elongated. She waxed a few days ago but it is not heavy wax at this point. She has been taking a nap every evening between 9-10pm so we will see if that continues to be a routine for her.
Tess is a maiden mare on Cams 3 & 4. She is also due this weekend. She has been agitated for a day or so. We've been handling her udder daily- several times a day recently but she is nervous and uncomfortable with it. We will attempt tonight to retrieve milk (although her udder is small even for a maiden) and see what the test says.
We are having record cold here tonight- as is much of the country! so we would be VERY thankful for the extra watchful eyes tonight. We are looking forward to sharing their deliveries with you- just hope it is not on a night that is 4 below!
