In full disclosure, I turned the live feed off because Valeria coliced last night and is still showing abdominal discomfort this morning. The baby isn’t getting enough milk because Valeria isn’t producing much so I am attempting to supplement with goat milk. Overall baby seems bright but today will be hotter than yesterday so I’m worried about dehydration. Especially since Valeria’s food intake is very limited until she’s feeling better.
I didn’t want to just pop in here and say the camera feed is down because mare and foal aren’t doing well or remain silent and not give an update at all. That would lead to unfair burning questions.
I’m staying positive and very optimistic about this going well if we can get Valeria more comfortable and her meds start helping her produce milk. Worse case I ship both off to my vet for around the clock care. Positive thoughts!
Aw I’m sorry to hear V isn’t feeling great – fingers crossed she snaps back quickly and that the little filly gets everything she needs!!

Thanks Emma! She’s looking better but I have the vet coming out just to double check. I don’t think she’s totally out of the woods.

Hopefully things improve asap! Will be keeping all three of you in my thoughts.

Thank you! There is improvement. Not enough for me to feel like Valeria is out of the woods but enough to make me feel like we’re in a good direction. Cautiously optimistic.

Totally understandable to turn off the feed. I hope that V continues to improve and you can stop worrying!

I’ll keep an eye out. I’m already paranoid about things with my mare and reading helps distract me from my own paranoia. 😉

I put the feed back up for my own paranoia. So I know what you mean. 🙂

So sorry to hear this! Sending all the positive vibes and prayers your way. Stay strong and positive for the both of them. Don’t hesitate to take them in. Better to be safe. Glad the filly is bright.

Thank you! I am watching them like a hawk and already discussed taking them into the hospital. Today will probably answer a lot of questions.
