Not so Merry Christmas.....

[REO]

Aw Becky, I'm so sorry!!!

I live every hour of every day worrying about that. It really hurts when you lose one. Give Moonie a hug for me.

Man, Becky! Sorry to hear about your loss. We had one abort yesterday at 8 months along and the neigbors behind one had one abort the day before at about 3-4 months. The one we lost was a colt. He was pretty twisted and folded. The vet had to come to turn it and pull it. What a mess. We can definitly sympathize with you.

Becky, I'm sooo sorry. I hope Moonie is doing well. What a sad way to start Christmas.

so sorry for ALL of you that have lost foals... just heard from a friend yesterday that they lost two this week. we lost one during birthing spring 2005 and another at 10 days old the year before... it is SO HARD. {{{{hugs}}}} to all of you and your mares, and best wishes for blessings the rest of the foaling season!

I'm so sorry for your loss. :no: That's the heartache of this business. I'm glad to hear Moonie is doing okay.

I'm sorry you lost this foal. (((hugs))) for you and your little mare.

I am so very sorry Becky. I hope Moonie is feeling better. Did you have any clues something was up?

 

[Jill]

I'm so sorry, Becky

 

[Becky]

Thanks everybody for your thoughts and concerns. Moonie is doing fine.

Did you have any clues something was up?

No, not at all. That's the hard part about when a mare aborts. No warning. Fortunately, I just happened to be outside feeding when this transpired. The fact that Moonie was only 6 months along, made the fetus easier to deliver, but it did come out backwards and curled up in a ball.

My best guess is that Moonie has a low grade infection and I plan to have her treated for that.

We hope for better luck next year!
