She aborted. Cha Cha needs jingles. pg 3

[can't re-]

My old girl Cha Cha lost her foal early this AM at 234 days. What a sad experience. I know many here have experience this and can relate.

Cha is still standing watch over him. :(

[okggo]

Can't re- I'm so sorry about your loss :(

[Royal Monaco]

My friend experienced the same thing 2 weeks ago.

The mare was searcing for her foal after they removed it from her stall.

It was heart rending.

We are now waiting for the autopsy results...

[Daydream Believer]

I'm so sorry!

[Edgewood]

My 1 mare did the same thing last week, at 8 mos. She was very sad for a while as well. Hugs and so sorry for you and your mare...:sadsmile:

[Rubs Not Pats]

I been there too. I am so sorry.

[Fenway]

I'm so sorry. We lost one this year too. *Hugs* :(

[TWF]

Very sorry to hear of your loss. Yes, many of us have passed hours such as yours with our girls. Breeding is for the brave at heart.

[BeastieSlave]

I had it happen when my mare was at 9 months (not this year). It's tough. I'm so sorry for your loss {{{{HUGS}}}} :(

[Rhyadawn]

I am so sorry for your loss. This is such a hard thing to watch them go through. ((HUGS))

[nsm]

Can't Re-- I am so so sorry, my deepest condolences-

Nancy

[Peg]

It makes my heart break. I'm so sorry. Peg

[eggbutt]

I'm so sorry....it's never easy is it? We lost one last year at 9 months. The necropsy didn't show anything conclusive. Hugs to you and your mare.

[talloaks]

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It happened to us one year also so I guess if you breed long enough, or enough mares, you will eventually have this heart breaking experience. Hugs to you and your mare!

[Horsecrazy27]

I'm so sorry to hear that. GOSH.... One of my best friend's has lost 2 this year and it just broke my heart to hear her voice and the details. I'm so sorry. God Bless you and your girl! God speed to the foal.

[Florida Fan]

Am sooo sorry for your loss. You are right, breeding is not for the faint of heart, I have learned. I competed for so many years, but the breeding experience was the most emotional. Fortunately, when your foal does arrive, whenever that is, it will erase the disappointment you are enduring. Best to you and Cha Cha.

[Blonde Filly]

Been there and done that...two last year! :(

So sorry for your loss and for the mare's loss!!! It is heart breaking watching the mare stand guard over their lost foal and even harder to see them still looking 24 hours later for it!!! :(:(

[alliekat]

Can't Re
So sorry to hear of your loss. You and your mare will be in our thoughts and prayers.

[Rhiannonjk]

So sorry for your loss.
We went through this last year, and luckily the mare was able to get through her grief by being a surrogate mother to an orphaned foal.

[Iron Horse Farm]

Can't re-, I'm just so sorry. Deepest condolances from another breeder who's been there.

[Home Again Farm]

Can't re- and Edgewood,

I am so very, very sorry. :cry:

[Quinn]

Oh B, I'm so terribly sorry. It never gets easier and perhaps even more painful. I'm just so sorry.

Can't re- and Edgewood, I am so sorry for your loss. :( This must be hard on both you and your mares.

[Cinnybren]

can't re and Edgewood - I am so very sorry for your losses. Please accept my condolences. I was there last year with my old girl. It is just heartbreaking. (((HUGS)))

[Lesley Feakins]

So sorry to you both for your loss.

[appaloosalady]

So sorry for your loss. It is one of my worst nightmares.

[spacely]

I am so sorry. :cry:

[BBowen]

I am so very sorry for both of you and your mares for the loss of the foals. So much time, money and emotion goes into this whole process to have a heartbreaking outcome. I am sure there a lots of wonderful mares over the bridge that will look after them -- mine if one of them. Hugs and prayers.

[Just Wondering]

I'm sorry!

[mbj]

Oh I am so sorry for you and for your mare. I think breeders are very brave folk with big hearts. Hugs!

[showjumpers66]

[CathyKb]

I am so sorry!:cry::cry::cry:

[ShowjumpersUSA]

Oh no, I'm so sorry.

[Laurierace]

I think most of us can relate all to well to your grief and disappointment and sorrow. When you add the mare's grief to the mix it makes the situation all the more unbearable. I am sorry for your loss.

[3Dogs]

I am so very sorry for both of you :no: - my deepest condolences on the loss of these babes

[FLIPPED HER HALO]

We're in the 8th month and I know I have all kinds of fears. My heart is just breaking for you and your poor mare and foal. I'm so sorry for your loss!

[Leena]

I am so sorry for those very sad news......

[Dressage-ryder]

So sorry.. Hugs to you and your girl!

[can't re-]

Thanks everyone.
Cha is staying in the same area in her pasture but is OK physically. We brought her food and water over to her. She is eating and drinking, so that's good. She didn't want me to leave her.
It is sad, as so many here know and I wouldn't wish this on anyone. To see the perfect little boy......:(
I was going to retire Cha Cha after this foal; she is such a kind mare. So now
she will be the resident granny and maybe donate an embryo or two.

[Summit Springs Farm]

I'm so sorry for your loss, very sad. Heaven has a new angel. Take Care

[HSGF]

I am so sorry.....:(

[VirginiaBred]

:(

So sad for you and your nice mare.

[Halfhalting]

I'm so sorry for both of you. :(

[twistoffate]

I'm so sorry for your loss...I lost mine a couple of months ago.... My heart breaks for you and your mare.

[goodmorning]

I'm very sorry for both you and your special mare's loss :(

[Kinsella]

Oh man, that stinks... Hugs to the mares and their "moms"...

[happy mouth]

I just saw this and wanted to add my condolences. It just doesn't seem fair, does it. Sending lots of {{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}} to you and to your lovely old girl. RIP little one, so very sorry. :cry:

[can't re-]

Please jingle for Cha. She is really dragging this AM and has a temp of 103.2...... I am waiting for a call back from the vet.

[TWF]

Jingles and Prayers for you and your Cha Cha

[ponygirl]

I'm so sorry Can't re. I had this happen last year. My mare aborted for no apparent reason a lovely filly at 8 months. She then spiked a temp as your mare but flushing and antibiotics cleared it up. Jingling for you and your mare.

[BeastieSlave]

Jingling for Cha Cha....

[can't re-]

Thank you for the jingles.
And thanks ponygirl, I'm sorry you went through the same thing. But it is good to hear your mare was OK with treatment.
My vet will be here this AM.

[Fenway]

Jingles for Cha Cha. Keep us updated.

[TKR]

Jingles for Cha Cha and a big hug for you. I had a wonderful, big Thoroughbred mare foal at term, but he was dead. She was also inconsolable and he looked perfect, so who knows. Make sure she passed all the placenta and best of luck to both of you. So very sorry she lost her foal.
PennyG

[ShowjumpersUSA]

Jingles for Cha Cha. I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope all goes well with the vet.

[Hillside H Ranch]

Jingling for you! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

[Home Again Farm]

Jingling madly for Cha Cha! Please keep us posted, Barb. Hugs!

[monami]

Jingles!! I had the same happen on the Dec 30th. This was the second time it has happened to me (different mares) both needed to be flushed several times.

[pintopiaffe]

sending lots of get well prayers your way this morning!

I hope she feels better very soon...

[Edgewood]

Jingling for you mare Cha Cha. Since my mare aborted last week at 8 months, we also treated her agressively with Gentamycin and Ampicillin and flushed her 3 times (she had placentitis before the abortion that we had been treating). But because the placenta was infected, we kept her on the antibiotics for a while afterwards and flushed her multipe times (and treated with oxytocin sequentially to help clearing).

Maybe one of these avenues may help your mare. Good luck with your vet.

[amdfarm]

Getting here late, but jingling like mad for Cha Cha (love her name, btw) and I'm sorry for the loss of her foal. Hope she feels better soon!

[3Dogs]

jingling like crazy for Cha Cha!!!!

[Portia]

Also jingling for a quick and complete recovery.

[Quinn]

Keeping Cha Cha close in my thoughts. Sending positive jingles your way.

[Iron Horse Farm]

UPDATE? My jingling arm is tiring!

[can't re-]

Hi - thanks for the jingles. I'm just back in from checking on Cha Cha and taking her temp. Temp is down to 100.2. She is feeling better and ate her dinner. Her feet feel normal and no digital pulse.
I gave her banamine early this AM. My vet came and flushed and infused her with antibiotics.

Fingers and toes crossed Cha's temp stays down.

[pintopiaffe]

Oh, that's very good news.

Hoping (and praying for you) all stays well.

[alliekat]

Glad to hear your mare is feeling better. We are jingle'n for you!!!

[Kneigh]

Glad to hear Cha Cha is doing better. :)

[graystonefarm]

Oh no! That's so heartbreaking! I'm so very sorry for your loss. I'm glad Cha Cha is recovering.

{{{{{HUGS}}}}}

[Kinsella]

Glad to hear her temp is down... Jingling here in NC (tonight - I'll be back in VA tomorrow).

Edgewood - My condolences on your loss... Glad to hear you girl is doing OK.

[Fred]

I just saw this, and want to add my heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your foal to you and Cha Cha, and adding great big jingles for Cha Cha.
I'm glad that she was feeling better last night, and I hope for continued improvement for the good girl.
take care
Gail

[can't re-]

They're working! The jingles are working. :)
Thanks everyone for thinking good thoughts for Cha Cha.
She is feeling much better and I will be talking to my vet today on what we need to do next for her.

Hug your mommas!

[amdfarm]

So glad to hear Cha is doing much better. Continued jingles though until she's in the clear and in full granny mode.

[Nlevie]

How awful for you both, but hope she recovers quickly !

[Mozart]

Glad to hear she is on the mend and very sorry about the foal :cry:

[mbj]

Still jingling for you and Cha Cha. Glad she is feeling a bit better. We have a maiden "auntie" boarder who is very maternal with our occasional foals , stands guard with the mom when they sleep, and is the perfect companion when they are weaned.She is sure they are her babies and the mom is just a nursemaid. Maybe Cha Cha will enjoy that sort of "job".
