She is off to the foaling barn!


 





The vet moved Friday to the foaling barn today! Her milk bag is huge and she is a off of her food (even the grain). She has  a touch of sweat on her shoulders.  It was over 80 degrees today, so that may explain sweating and her loss of appetite.     




The vet is going to check her tonight and put in a monitor that will alarm (and page him) if the baby moves into the birth canal. She is pretty sneaky and I am fairly sure she will try to have the baby unattended (Good luck with that!)









Watched!







You can see from the pictures below that the baby had "dropped". This means the baby is now in the birth canal and Friday no longer looks like she swallowed a big beach ball when you look at her from the front. They also call this "slab sided". This is another sign that she is close to foaling.

Lots of milk!

Missing Harley Maybe?
