I told Terri that all I know is the foal was stuck. Praying for Joanne and Precious

I sure all works out for the good!!
I checked the forum board, but nothing in the way of news :(

after all this time watching precious now trouble. Yikes that is so scary I hope all ends well. I wondered why I couldn't get on today.

I sure hope they are both ok, I tried to get on also

I am the worst at waiting.

So I get all excited, seeing that you have posted again. , and get here and this is all! :shock: :shock: :D

Please keep us updated, we do so appreciate it!

Hate to be a naysayer but since it has been a very long time at this point I am just hoping they were able to save the mare. Im going to go feed my bunch and then I will check again

Kay I think at this point we are all hoping for the best but expecting the worst. Please let us know as soon as you go.

Let's all put our heads down and say a prayer for both mommy mare and baby foal. This has got to be hard on everybody involved.

I can't get any cam up.......
Kay, we're depending on you to update us.....
Hoping for the best

still no word :(

Oh my..... [img]http://bestsmileys.com/sad/8.gif[/img]

This may be a stupid question, but do they do C-sections on horses? Especially if there appears to be problems. I wish we knew what was going on.

me too, have had the board on all day, don't want to miss any news.

so sorry for the mommy horse. I had my first breech with no meds.
won't be doing that again! course I ain't in the foaling business no more either :lol:

Sorry to bear bad news. copying Joannes post :(

I am operating on about an hours sleep. But I wanted to touch basis with all of you.

We lost them both. The foal was dead when she went into labor. All for legs were in various stages in the pelvis. The foal was upside down. The head and front legs had turned into position to foal, but the muzzle was caught under the pelvic rim. I had no muzzle, just the crown of the head. We tried here to reposition, then went on to two other vet practices several hours away. The last vet was able to get the foal repositioned and out, but Precious' gut came out as well. We euthanize her a few minutes later.
I knew the foal was dead. Just did not expect to loose the mare as well. A first for us.

Thank you all for watching with me. I am unable to read your comments right now without crying, but I will read every one of them. I promise.

I am so , so sorry for this loss, I have tuned in every day to watch Precious. I feel so sorry for you all, I'm sure they become part of your family.
Know that my heart goes out to all of you. I cry along with you. :cry: :cry:

I am so sad to hear this. Our hearts are with you, I know all of us here were hoping for the best. Big hugs all around.

So sorry to hear this! Losing both of them is just awful....have to sign off and look for more kleenix.....Thanks, Kay for the report

Oh no...that is so sad!
Kay, please pass on my prayers to Joanne.

Oh how sad I was hoping Precious would be OK had lost hope on the foal but feel so bad, She was such a pretty girl.

I am so, so sorry for your loss, Joanne....
Precious was a member of the family even if she did have fur
It didn't sound like they were going to be able to save the foal but
I believed in my heart that Precious would be okay.....
So sad.........

:( :( I am so sorry this happened. Please send my prayers and thoughts to Joanne and her family and anyone else who cared for Precious and her foal. What a sad thing to have happened.

Kyia :(

Words are not enough to express how sorry I am.

Oh this is a very sad day. I am sending my deepest sympathies to Joanne and all the family. They have just lost a member of their family. That's terrible.

I am so sorry Joanne, I know your horses are a part of your family. Thank you for letting us know what happened, we were all praying for Precious and her foal......such a tragic loss.......

sending prayers
sorry cant say more without crying harder

Stinks. :(

Kay, thank you so much for starting this thread. I had been watching Precious for over a week. I even had my laptop set up next to the bed, so I could open one eye, check and then go back to sleep. Precious was so funny, and fun to watch! I know that Joann did everything she could possibly do, and my heart goes out to her. I've been crying on and off ever since it started, and I know she is devastated. Send her all our hugs and love and support. Thanks.

Kay, Please pass on my condolonces also . I have been watching Precious daily and didn't see her start labor, but was shocked to read the post tonight . My heart is breaking for everyone involved . Thank You
Sharon

:*( :cry:

Kay, thank u for the update and am sorry to hear of the tragic ending. My prayers are with you and yours

I'm so sorry for Joanne - what an awful thing to happen. Poor Precious. Please pass on my condolences Kay.

:cry: am so sad to hear that

I sent Joanne a link to this thread so she'd be able to read your messages. Maybe Kay did the same--that's okay, too.

Losing a foal is bad, losing the mare and the foal--it just doesn't get any worse than that.

I am so sorry for Joanne and her mare and foal. Thoughts her way!

I think it's just horrible!
Big hugs to Joanne.....I feel so bad!
I went to the forum and had been reading updates on Precious.
I love going there and just perusing the pictures of the babies. :)

I just found this thread, and am so sad. I was fascinated by the last foaling and had my kids watching her and the new baby! I didn't realize this had happened, and am so sad.

Is Joanne on this board? Was Precious in the same link as the last horse (whose name is slipping my mind at the moment, sorry!!)


This is so sad.

No, Precious belonged to Pacific Pintos. (Joanne isn't part of the board)Her info could be seen at the top scrolling when you would be watching Kays horses.
We just started watching her because she was a bit over due and another pair of eyes, in my opinion, is always a good thing.
Precious was interesting to watch. The farm, if you went to the website has some pretty pictures on it.

The only mare stare that we do is Kays. We have watched other horses, such as Diana (Bit O Blue) last year, and I think, if I remember correctly, it was one of our ladies that made the call about Diana foaling.
But, we will watch other mares if we know about them. Kay will usually tell us if another mare needs help being watched.
