I am absolutely calling the vet in the morning.
I believe I am having trouble with my mares milk production. There were complications when our foal was born so I immediately milked the mare and syringed the Colostrum to our foal. I think we got about 15 mL down her. She struggles to find the nipple and we have had to help her. I notice she tries to nurse on everything when we are there which leads me to think shes not getting anything. I believe my mares milk is drying up. I tried to milk her but I get VERY little. Again, we will be calling the vet in the morning but is there something else I should be doing?
