Belle is not pregnant. It appears she lost it in the last 30 days as her uterus is still enlarged, and her cervix is open. Probably some type of infection. Her water drinking is why she seems healthy, she is keeping the toxins form the infection flushed out. She cleaned her out, like what Frog was talking about, and took a culture. I will have the results by Fri.
She said some infections are easy to clear up some aren't, in rare cases it could be transfered to the stud:(. If it is an easy fix, I will be able to breed her back this year. Not sure I will tho. If I get it cleared, I may just sell her. If it's a hard fix, she will go to the sell. I'm not messing with it.

What might have been the cause? Might she have had this for some time, and that's why she lost the other foal? Perhaps since the first pregnancy? When was that?
I hope it's an easy fix. I hope it's an infection that can be cleared up and she'll still be fertile.
It's a huge mystery where the foal went. Sorry to be morbid, but do you think a coyote dragged it off?
Backy,
I am so sorry - it is so hard to lose one, especially that close after waiting for so many months.
So sorry. How disappointing for you
That's rotten Becky, I'm so sorry. :-(
