My filly was born around 5:30 am. She has been eating well and has pooped several times. Thing is she will lay down and roll over to her back some. Like her tummy is hurting. I have given her 2 enemas today just to be sure. And the resulting poo was normal and what I would expect without much straining at all.
I havent seen her pee though. Doesnt mean she hasnt. I just havent seen her do it.
Also it has been a really hot day and we expect the same temps all week long. I have her and mom in shade with a fan and mister on them. But she was still breathing pretty hard earlier today when it was the hottest. What is the earliest you have shaved a foal. She doesnt have a whole lot of hair. But I would think it would help to get some of it off places like her belly and chest.
Would love to hear all your suggestions and thoughts on this. Can or should you give banamine? Or can foals this young get ulcers already? Should I give ulcerguard? Or something else?
