Philip dropped off Braelyn for our morning walk, she got a bit fussy in the stroller so first Ruth carried her a bit, then Rachel, they are using her as weights to help with the aerobic exercise.
Scary news this morning, a phone call came from the people that bought Lily's filly. They have Lily at their place until the filly is weaned and Lily was colicking when they arrived to feed. Surgery is not an option with Lily, too much scar tissue from the last colic surgery so we were praying the banamine would work. If not she would have to be put down and what a loss that would be, not only is she LILY, but she is in foal to Raven. By noon the call came that Lily was much better, actually acting normal and hungry.
Dr. Hoerr arrived for ultrasounds, we had 2 outside mares and 2 of our mares to be done, plus Jamie Stone wanted coggins drawn on Dakota and Myrrcedes along with their shots. Eliza was our only disappointment, she did not take and is coming back in season. Sure hope she will settle this time. She was given a shot and should be ready to breed in 4 days. Dalia IS in foal, we will place her for sale to help cover some of the vet costs on Sanna's filly. Both outside mares were also pregnant. Mattie the HUGE Clyde cross mare was diagnosed with twins, not just twins but identical twins as there was only one CL meaning only one ovary ovulated and both embryos were the same size. One had to be pinched off, mares are just not made to carry twins.
Then it was time to show Dr. Hoerr Sanna's filly. He actually saw how she will go up under Sanna to nurse but not latch on. She did this twice while he was observing. He drew blood then took her off one of her meds of which has side effects such as a depressant and loss of appetite. Actually by this afternoon she is bit brighter. Dr. Hoerr recommended we put her on calf manna, a milk rich grain that a young foal will digest well.
