Hi I have a mare that I rescued from slaughter that is pregnant.She started making a bag 2 weeks ago and is now full.Her vulva has been elonganated for well over a month and now its starting to swell.Over the last 2 weeks I have noticed a drop of blood on the bottom of her vulva.Now its blood clots that I am seeing since yesterday.My friend said it was the bloody show,and another lady said that she is loosing her cervical plug.I was also told that a pony does not go slab sided,she is 50 inches tall.And I have also heard that they do go slab sided.She has all the signs except slab sided and no milk or wax.I have no idea when shes due but think its soon the way everything looks.Please help.... Thanks, Marylou

Our mare went about two weeks after getting to exactly the stage you describe. She had a BIG filly yesterday afternoon. She had swelling and elongation of the vulva about two weeks ago and we started seeing signs of bleeding. Finally got a vet to come about wk and half ago and she said she could find nothing wrong and not to worry. The bleeding stopped and the swelling actually went away for most part. Yesterday morning was the first time I actually saw just a drop of waxing and then she had it uneventfully yesterday afternoon. Your horse will probably be different but just thought I would share that with you. later, rick
