Try Biosponge. The best thing is Mom's poop. Don't clean out the stall so much that the foal doesn't get around to eating it. Mom's poop works the best.

I agree with Hillside. Nothing to worry yet. One of our mares foals at 352 days every year. She has very little milk and no bag until after she foals. 20 seconds later her bag starts to fill up. ...

I agree about checking for milk. The mare should be getting relief from being emptied. If not, then domperidone with a sedative to the mare. I would do what ever I could to keep those two...

Hey Tango,

The rabies during pregnancy is a question on risk. I personally don't see how one month will make a huge difference for the mare. Also, the likelyhood that a rabid animal will get...

The foal gets its initial immunity from his mothers milk(colostrum) within the first 12-14 hours. After that the gut closes up to the larger proteins and there is no more transfer. This is why it...

Dune,

Some, as do I , recommend a 10 Month shot as it helps increase the quality of the Colostrum. So, if your mare was vaccinated at 10 instead of 9, no problem. The only difference is your...

Sorry Hillside, I meant EHV-4 which is in Prestige and Prestige II. That was a typo.

I would say, in comparison to other animals where we only need to vaccinate once every 3 years, 3-6 months is poor. They also need a double dose of Rabies for the same reason. 2cc's verses 1 with...

Dune,

I know some think I am mistyping, but I am not. Prodigy is only one strain of Herpes (EHV-1), not both. Herpes is the virus that causes Rhinopneumonitis. I use PRESTIGE and PRESTIGE...

You should ask about Polyglycan. It is a combination of the two and it is cheaper. There are studies that show that most of these injectables only work if they are injected weekly. I don't know. ...

Hi, I work in the Vet Field, and I have seen time and time again the spontaneous abortion at the 9 month injection. Everytime it was pneumabort K. I have spoken to the Intervet rep and they have...

I wouldn't vet a horse for $2000, and it sounds like they are raising the price to get you to move more quickly. In this environment, the power is yours. Take your time, you have it...

JMHO

I agree with Equine Repro, Banamine + Vaccination is much better then no Vaccination. The cost, time, and thinness of margin does not allow for wishfull thinking regarding Rhino. Especially if you...

An Anti-Inflammatory, is by design an immune suppressant. The concept of 5, 7, 9 is to have the B cells produce a large titre (concentration) of Antibodies (Ab) so if the mare is exposed to the...

If the mare is a good mare, I would buy her less the cost of insurance. Insure the mare. If something happens you will be covered. Another option is to offer a lower price for your troubles, foal...

Sometimes reactions are due to not being in the deep muscle. Phneumabort K from Fort Dodge has a much higher incidence of spontaneous abortions after the 9 month shot. I have never hear of any from...
