Equine-Reproduction.com Bulletin Board » Pregnant Mare and the Newborn Foal - Volume 1 » Bagging up on one side only??? « Previous Next » Author Message   True Colours Farm Neonate Username: Truecoloursfarm Post Number: 7 Registered: 09-2005 Posted on Saturday, April 29, 2006 - 08:57 pm:        I have a mare that is officially due on June 19th according to the lady I bought her from (and I am just checking with her now to verify for sure ...) She has had 1 or 2 foals before I got her ... She is bagged up incredibly big and hard on her left side and her right side is totally flacid with no bag at all... Her tail is like spaghetti (VERY limp!) and her vulva looks elongated to me. Her bum is still pretty firm, she has no wax, she is not particularily large but now I am wondering if perhaps she is due a full cycle earlier than first thought??? Also - is it possible that she has a blocked milk duct or??? And if it IS a blocked milk duct can it be flushed or do you just deal with the fact that milk only comes out from one side?
