Lookie here and weigh in on this. Diablo was bred June 1, and checked in foal on June 18 or so, looking good. She weaned her baby a while back, and if you recall, she got unweaned and hurt herself in the process. Diablo was brought back in with her, and they stayed together about 10 days. Thursday, Ammo was weaned again.
When Diablo came in that last time, she was her regular fat self. She always has a monster belly, no matter her condition. I noticed she did not look so big while she was in with Ammo. I REALLY noticed it tonight.
She should be four and a half months in foal to Highlight Cat. This is certainly not a baby I want to give up, and I would be heartbroken to find she had slipped this foal.
What does that abdomen look like to you? In comparison to her normal self, she is much smaller than usual, which is a little odd as she stayed fatter than usual during the whole nursing thing. She always maintains a belly, but will sometime show a shadow of a rib at the top of her barrel, as the baby wears her down. That did not happen this year, she maintained herself better than ever.
I cannot stand these anxieties, I guess we will be up for some palpation Saturday morning.
Add that to the list. I might as well have Fuzzy checked too as I think she is foal despite a negative ultrasound.

Hmmm.
Ummm, I say maybe, but then again maybe not.
Could be, I'd say there's a possibility maybe that she is or isn't.
