So I want to hear your thoughts and if you have experienced anything similar before. I have a mare, who we bred AI with cooled semen. She was bred last time at the 7th July, we could first check her at 21 days (because of the vet being on holiday), and he declared her empty. But she didn’t have any big new follicle at that point.
Since then I have waited for her to come back into heat, as she will REALLY show and voice her heat. But nothing. She has skipped 2 heats by now, with no sign of being in heat, even when teased by a stallion.
Last time we checked her, the vet found something “hidden” in her uterus, which could be a cyst or an embryo, but it was small for what you would expect at that time of an embryo. But we never saw that “cyst” before, and didn’t get a really good view of it either.
I was planning on doing a hormon treatment to get her back into heat back then, but didn’t since he found the “cyst” in hope she might be pregnant. But I don’t want to get my hopes up either. Have any of you guys been in the same situation? Any input would be much appreciated as I am going a bit nuts wondering if she is pregnant or empty :eek:
Additional info: She is 16 y o, swedish warmblood, sound repro system, had 2 foals as a young horse, till now been in the sport when I got her as a breeding mare. Bred to Diatendro
