"Little Rabbit"?
I gladly give you my own Wascally Wabbit (barn name Bugs) - named for the white lining in his ears.

we have MANY rabbit-associated named animals here. There are too many of too many various and sundry species to begin to show pix of all. My significant other and i call eachother “Bunnie” instead of our actual names. And have since the very beginning. Our favorite is when we awaken on Easter morning and say: Happy Easter, Bunnie to each other We have a place along the driveway Bunny Grotto, and everytime we pass it we lock our pinky-fingers together and lower and raise our hands and say: Bunny grotto, bunny grotto, bunny grotto: Healthy Farm! (it’s a weird little prayer) A dog named after that spot along the driveway, registered name EightPond Bunny Grotto. We have a llama named Bunny. We have Little Rabbit, Junior rabbit, La Lapine (a ewe), El Conejo (a ram). So many rabbits around here…

There’s always SO MUCH DRAMA in foals! OK…so i had the trailer hitched…moved to the barn door and built a barricade and looked out the back gate upon RIzada who is at day 338 and lo and behold… she was pawing and smelling the ground and attempting to drop down. And i thought i saw a bubble underneath her tail. Now, it very well could be the sunshine on a pouty anus? Or the amniotic sac beginning to come out??? Anyhow, i called all the vets involved and we’ve hit upon a Plan B.
Plan A…me haul both Brenna and Hazel into the emergency equine clinic 1.5 hr ea way for plasma catheter.
Plan B…my vet, who has never catheterized a foal gets instructions and sends someone to go pick up the plasma from the equine vet and comes here.
Plan C…i haul in and vet sends someone by every two hours to check on Rizada while i’m away.
We chose Plan B…my vet got detailed instructions as to How To. She has catheterized adult horses before, and she has catheterized sick calves. She said she was willing to do it if i was willing to have my little guy be her first. And i said: What the heck, somebody has to be first. So we go with Plan B.

I would choose plan B myself. If the mare has mastitis is the milk that is flowing looking alright and consumption worthy?
He sure seems to be acting like he is getting enough to drink.
I pray the next foaling goes smoothly.

Your vet will do a fine job of administering plasma. Good luck with your next foaling

Aargh, a little while ago I was about to post that you would probably drive off to the clinic and come home to find another baby, then saw your post of five hours ago saying Rizada wasn’t due for a week. I hope that just my thinking about it didn’t jinx you!
No, I don’t think I have that much power. From what I have read about mares, it was probably you planning to head off that pushed Rizada to hurry along (or at least threaten to).
