Sorry Cassie, I dont text. 239 498 1014...thank you for offering I may head to bed shortly but you know me...nervous nelly at your service!! Any word from Diane..hope all is ok..maybe babysitting!
after dipping or spaying babies navel does any one also do the hoofs..if so
1. Can I use the same stuff
2. Do you dip the hoof in a cup or just pat it on the bottom w/cotton ball
3. Do I have to wait till slippers fall off
4. Is one time enough or is it done once a day
You can do the hoofs
Yes you use the same stuff IODINE, not bedadine
Get the iodine in the spray bottle its so much easier
No you do not have to wait and all babies are not born with milk shoes. I only had one that had them and they fall off on their own in a few days anyhow.
I usually do mine twice the first day or three times if I think I've really missed the spot because I am a slob at that
To the person that is questioning the use of Iodine on the navel if you do not do this your foal can get navel ill which is horrible and totally die as a result.

Morning all
only 2 pages again, good girls.
Heidi I use Betadine which is 10% povidone-iodine in water. I am curious to know why Marty says NO
What is Diane upto?

good morning Renee, I was going to plan on using betadine as well, Im hoping Marty will return and tell us why she prefers iodine...my understanding and I may be wrong is that the iodine has a tendancy to burn the skin alittle if you get too much on.
P.S. I just noticed I wrote bedadine the first time...perhaps thats what got her confused. We'll see...oh Marty where art thou!!
No you didnt lil'missy...do tell and yes please show us!! Do you have him yet? is that where you were hiding all day!! A huge congratulations, you deserve it..now lets see pics!!

LOL!! Renee, are you serious or just hoping Diane will see the magic word APPY!?
Has anyone been able to make contact with Diane? Really hope she's ok! If it is not her mare foaling, perhaps she has been called away suddenly on family 'duties'?
For foal's navels we usually use an iodine based mixture stuff from our vet. Plain iodine can burn if in contact with actual skin. We use our dip approx 3 times in the first 24 hours - always doing it immediately at birth as soon as the cord breaks and before the end touches the floor if possible, and again just before we let the foal out for the first time. Feet, we dont touch - the little 'ballet shoes' often just fall off in the stable, certainly when they first go out. But this is just the way we do it.
Again, hope Diane is ok? Have a great day everyone!
