    Re: WE HAD A BABY!!!

    Thanks everyone! :) I just love her ;) Cocoa is still in the protective mode, can't wait until I get to play with baby!

    Name suggestions are welcome! Possibly something with Attraction in it (from daddy's name), or possibly something to do with maps or maps of the world (hubby says that's what her markings remind him of). And I"m tossing around the idea of Roxi as a barn name possibly, so if that could somehow go into her reg name...

    Re: WE HAD A BABY!!!

    Attracted to Rox, or Attraction to Rox.

    Sorry, the Geomorphologist/planetary scientist in me saw those two things in the same sentence and couldn't resist ;)  I think I'm going to leave work now...I've only been here for something like 12hrs....

    Had to have vet out for filly :(

    Going to copy/paste from marestare thread...

     

    So while I waited for the vet, I figured I had better try to catch Miss Cocoa. I went in with a small pallet in front of me in case she kicked. But she let me scratch her neck (she LOVES that), and eventually I was able to slip a lead rope around her neck. Once I did that, I was able to halter her. Once I did that, she was GOOD! Baby was laying down napping. Cocoa wanted out of the stall! So I let her wander around with me a bit, she kept going back to check on baby. Then baby came out! She is a curious little girl, walks right up to me!  I'm in Love! And Cocoa let me pet baby!!!! Then baby went to lay down, and the ground was wet (I had dumped/cleaned out water buckets) so I took them back in.

    When vet got here (yay, it was my regular vet!) I held Cocoa with her butt in the corner. She wasn't happy about strangers messing with her precious baby girl, but she eventually settled down.

    Baby has a bad ulcer on her right eye Sad Her left eye is also a little cloudy, but no ulcer there. She has entropion going on (eyelids turned in against eye), and Dr says that isn't uncommon and will straighten out by 3-5 days old. She injected penicillin, which turns the eyelids out for now. I have three different eye ointments. I know one is twice a day, one is either once or twice a day (thank goodness they're written down!) and the other is EVERY TWO HOURS!!! So much for sleep! Sad WIll have to leave work at least once, if not twice to come home and do her eyes, as well. Vet says she knows it's not going to be every two hours b/c of work, but to do the best I can. If Cocoa settles down more, Craig might be able to do it, but as of now, I highly doubt Cocoa will let him in there without me.

    Then when they were done, I let Cocoa go, and she was sooooo worried. And THEN they decided to check filly's temp, so I had to recatch Cocoa, and she was NOT happy and BARELY missed kicking me good!  scared I was int he back of the stall, had to hop the fence, go to the front, and come in with the pallet again. Finally got her, and baby's temp is fine.

    I'm to call Dr tomarrow, and she's coming back on Monday to check filly's eyes. I also asked her about the cough going through the horses, she said it's likely a virus, and it will just have to work it's way through the barn and out Sad but not to worry about it.

    So, that's what's up. You will see me in there with the pallet, then we will prob take Cocoa out and tie her right in front of the stall while we work on baby's eyes for safety to us.

     That's sad to hear about baby's ulcer. I hope she gets better soon. As for you, be careful. Casi needs you around for her labor if it ever happens.lol. Keep us updated.

    So, baby is doing great, I think. I mean, eyes are still the same, BUT they are staying pretty darn clean around them, so that's good! She is SO CUTE and SO FRIENDLY!!! She just comes right on up to you, she was circling Craig after we finished her eye a few mins ago Smiley She likes her neck scratched, just like momma Smiley

    And Cocoa is doing great! First time we went out to do baby's eyes she was upset, tried biting me. But since then she's been fine. I have a peice of bailing twine on her halter to help catch her if needed, b/c even when she's mad, once you get her she's ok. I take her outside the stall and tie her up so she can still see baby, and she doesn't like that, paws, whinnys, moves around a lot, but she's doing ok. Then when I take her back in to baby, I scratch her neck before letting her go. It seems to be working out. This getting up every two hours sucks though!

    Check out Casi's thread!
