My mare is due anytime now, I took pics this evening at around 5:30 and did not see a big diff in her, 5 hours later though her teats have about tripled in size and she has this weird milky yellow discharge from her vulva. Is this normal or should I call my vet. She is eating fine, peeing, pooping, drinking, does not seem to be in any type of distress. Earlier I also saw the baby moving real close to the tail head. Thank You, Marie
Here are the pics, the first four are the newest ones.

Marie that discharge is normal! Teats look good, impending foaling they take on an elongated shape almost like a nipple on a baby bottle for a new born. I would be suspecting a birth anouncement soon from Classy! |

OK still no baby, now we have a weird bulge on the right side of her udder right by her leg, looked through yesterday evenings pics and I could barely make it out, this morning it is quite obvious so I have e-mailed the pics to my vet (he is 3 hours away on a call) he will look at them as soon as he gets to the office and call me back. This mare is going to be the death of me I swear.
Lori you are more than welcome to use some of them, if you could just give credit to Marie @ Seldom Rains Photography. If there are any specific shots you are looking for let me know, I have her pregnancy pics from Jan 23rd to now.

Hard to say without actually seeing/palpating it. It might be a hematoma, or it could be edema, or it could just be part of the mammary gland, or it could be more serious and associated with something like mastitis.
Let us know what your vet says, although he may say the same thing... |

Update, still waiting on the vet to call back after he gets back to his office and views the pics. Now the bulge has shrank some but she is getting one started in the same area on her left side. This mare is going to do me in I swear.
I'll keep everyone posted.

Marie - my TB mare that is 335 days also has the milky yellow discharge and she has been winking a lot. Noticed this quite a bit yesterday - acting as if she is in heat - tail high, expelling discharge, winking, rubbing butt.
I think it may just be a sign they are getting closer. Couldnt tell you what that swelling is though! Hope she is okay! |

Ok Vet finally called back, he had been out on emergencies all day and just got back to the office a little while ago. He said the bulge is either a lymph node or it is just from her udder being so big and interfering with circulation. he said she just needs to have that baby so things can get back to the way they should be. So long as it is not causing her any discomfort and does not start leaking not to worry.
So everybody on 3 "CLASSY HAVE THAT BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks agin for all the support.
