Good that you separated them, hopefully if she holds off for awhile she will still have what the foal needs, you never would think a 2 year old would start nursing, and worse that the mare would let them....I do have them separated. The vet(s) have all told me that If the mare waits for 2 more weeks to foal she will probably have enough colostrum, but we will IgG her to be sure, and if not, get her the plasma and care that she will need.. And as a side note: I find it to be amazing that 168 people viewed this post and only 3 had taken the time to reply
Could be, that many others, (like myself) who previously read it, didn't post because this is a very unusual question/problem...and there were't many with the answer?
Maybe because someone else said exactly what we would have said???? Do you need 168 posts saying the same thing? I've never had a two year old nurse, so I would have said the same thing RJRMinis said.And as a side note: I find it to be amazing that 168 people viewed this post and only 3 had taken the time to reply
What I said was not meant as sarcastic!! I was implying that as much knowledge that there is on this forum, that someone would have advice to this situation and an answer to my question. Yes I said it was sad that only 3 people had taken the time to reply. I DID hope for more help. Out of all the members on this forum surely someone has had this happen to them. No I don't need 168 people to saying the same thing. This is why I don't post often on here. People are to darn quick to critize and judge.Maybe because someone else said exactly what we would have said???? Do you need 168 posts saying the same thing?

With all due respect - you were very quick to criticize and judge... and complain that only 3 people answered. And then you provided more info and cancelled out the answers many others might have offered. I read it - thought the question was answered - noted that you had talked to the vet - so there was nothing to add. Except now, to address the way you chose to criticize those who had enough interest in your thread to read it....
I'm hoping she will not foal for a couple of weeks, the IgG will be good, and all will be well.I do have them separated.
