Location: Keeping up with the numbers! | After no further progression and Reckless dripping with vaginal secretion we made the decision to take her to A&M. Our vets were concerned with the possibility of a breach birth and Reckless's health condition. The ride was very difficult for her. After 30 minutes of arrival Friday night she began to colic. In addition her foot began separating.
It has taken two days, but this morning she finally has relaxed and become more comfortable. Her vitals are back to normal and her breathing has settled.
Her milk tested at a 35 and it needs to be at a 40 before a mare generally delivers. We have made several trips as we have been told she will probably need to be put down after delivery.
A&M is choosing not to induce at this time and feel like we could still be a couple of days out. They are trying to get as many calories in her to keep the baby healthy for delivery. We have been able to confirm she is not breach and the babies vitals are good.
I would like to thank Ghostrider for forwarding my name to a wonderful lady in GA who unfortunately lost her foal Friday. After discussing making the 16 hour one way trip to GA, my vets and I decided we would stick with a nurse goat and the possibility of introducing bucket feeding. A wonderful friend found me a nanny goat "Lulu" and we have been milking her three times a day to keep her wet.
Thanks again everyone for thinking of my sweet mare and my family! I know she is in good hands at A&M. We are trying our best to stay positive, but I will be honest it is killing me not having her here with me.

This just breaks my heart. I am like Jake, I was hoping and praying for Reckless to return to a healthy state and be a wonderful mom to this baby. God performs miracles everyday, but if He has decided to add Reckless to His four-footed angels up there then I pray for her to be as comfortable as possible until that time. She's fought valiantly for y'all and for her baby----what a treasure you have in her. Please keep us updated, and we'll continue to hold all of you up in prayer. |

| Sorry to see this update is not as positive as I am sure you would have liked. So thankful that she has carried to term for you. You have done so much to keep her comfortable and she has to know you care. I hope that things change - continued prayers for a healthy baby. |
