As of 8;41 the filly and her mom are both doing great. We pulled blood tonight to check her level of absorption of antibodies (IgG) from her mother and I'll get the results tomorrow.
IgG was 1900... Very good! That means she got a lot of immunity from her mother. What she got in that first milk will be her total immune system for about 6 months. (anything over 800 is good) Her white count was a little high and she had diahreah for one day but is fine now. Also, her tendons were contracted at birth but are now great. I will post some video in the near future.

Didn't Timmy have the same contacted tendons thing, too? And he outgrew that beautifully. I think she's a winner. : )
More pics, please.
I'm busy with the March sale right now, but after that, more pictures. OK?
