I am worried It is not like Marty to not post.. Either she is really busy, or maybe the excitement finally backed down and she curled up in the bed to take a rest.
One of the things we *always* do to avoid any potential problems and make life easier on the newborn foals is to administer an enema - over the years, it's saved a few foals that might otherwise have colicked or gotten toxic. It's something that every vet I've ever known insists on as something we NEED to do when a foal is born. Sometimes with the boys, they need more than one to pass all the "rocky" meconium.
Another side effect of giving the enema is that you pretty much HAVE to know the sex of the foal before you insert it!
Congratulations!! :risa_suelos: My daughter informed me a couple of years ago when she was 10 that boys pee toward their front legs and girls pee to the back! I thought how observent!!!
You crack me up--reads like a post of a first time foaler-outer person (something you would say), and we sure know you are not that. Marty--I'm behind the times. Do you have a stallion? I was thinking you were done foaling--and now I see a foal AND a new filly. All gorgeous!!
Oh--this is an old post--a really old post. How did that happen? lol It's not April Fools yet!
I don't know who bumped it up or why but I don't have a foal! I was wondering why I was getting congratulations messages. Sorry, no foaling here anymore.
Yes I do still have Glory. RHA Hot Scotch. She looks better than ever!
What a great read, I was thinking it was real time. So anyway was it a filly or colt, I never did see the answer? Thanks for a really great laugh this morning, it is snowing outside and it was just what I needed. Beautiful filly/colt even though it would be 7 now!
