WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING (A FOAL) 🐴

If your mare has made it through 11 months of pregnancy, you're almost there. Labor and delivery, while momentous, are generally uncomplicated — however, being a prepared and informed owner will help you keep your anxiety in check so you can assist the new mother and foal get off to a great start.

Here are some things you can do to prepare for the arrival of the foal:

• Consult with your veterinarian well in advance of the birth. Know how to reach your regular veterinarian after hours and ask about a back-up or referring veterinarian in case your regular horse doctor is not available.

• Clean and disinfect the stall as thoroughly as possible. Provide adequate bedding.

• Wash the mare's udder, v***a and hindquarters with a mild soap and rinse thoroughly.

• Wrap the mare's tail with a clean wrap when you observe the first stage of labor. Be sure that the wrap is not applied too tightly or left on too long, as it can cut off circulation and permanently damage the tail.

• Time each stage of labor, to help you keep accurate track of the mare's progress. Take written notes! When you're worried or anxious, your perception of time can become distorted.

As always, these are general guidelines, and you should contact your veterinarian for more information specific to your situation. Good luck!

🐴When you need a plasma transfusion in December, and you weigh 25 pounds…you receive it indoors:) This little donkey foal was rejected by its mom and therefore didn’t receive adequate colostrum, resulting in FPT or Failure of Passive Transfer. Luckily this was diagnosed early with a screening IgG test at 24 hours of age. A timely diagnosis and early therapeutic intervention will often circumvent a life threatening medical crisis in a young foal🐴

Happy Vet Tech Week to our amazing kennel technicians Libbie, Abby, and Kenna! These ladies do so much for our patients. They literally spend their days making sure they are well loved on and cared for, have clean sanitary bedding, and potty / walk breaks. They also assist our patients in the underwater treadmill, and help with acupuncture and ultrasound appointments. They are a huge part of the behind the scenes in our practice, and it’s nice to get a chance to brag on them. Thank you Libbie, Abby, and Kenna!!
