I have a call in now to the vet. She will call back sometime today. If she thinks the mare needs to be checked again, I'll take her in.

I did just read on a site that some mares don't bag till a few days before delivering. I just can't fine where they will be several weeks out bagging one time and days out the next.

I always thought that they were about the same each year, and that's how I figured due dates. This year, however, both of my mares that have foaled were off from previous foalings. The two that are due mid month or so, started getting bags two or three weeks ago, which is really early.

Everything seems off this year for some reason. We found on Farah and Dusty the only indication that was right was waxing up within 24hrs of foaling.

Truly started bagging up about 2wks or so before she foaled, but she didn't get REALLY big until a day or so beforehand. She was rock hard the afternoon before she foaled.
