The recommendation is now 12 hours post foaling. The sooner the foal nurses during that first 12 hours the better, IMHO. I try to get colostrum into the foal before it even gets up for the first time.
Colostrom.
Ideally, a foal should get colostrum as soon as possible post foaling. The current school of thought is that the gut closes much more rapidly than originally thought and that 6-8 hours for adequate passive transfer is the limit.
You can start taking the birth control pill at any time in your cycle. If you start within the first five days of menstrual bleeding, you have immediate protection. If you start at any other time, you should use a back up method of birth control for the first seven days.
After a foal is born, the amniotic sack should break if it hasn't already. The foal should begin breathing on its own and begin to try to rise. The cord will break on its own or when the mare rises. All this usually happens in the first few minutes after birth.
It varies. You may get a period within the first week or you will get your period 4 weeks later.
In a normal human birth, the head should appear first.
A foal typically stands within 1-2 hours after birth, but it can vary depending on the individual foal and circumstances. It's important for the foal to stand and nurse soon after birth to receive vital colostrum from the mare.
Question should be: Can a rat in labor delay birth if it's preoccupied with the first pup?
if you bath them within the first five minutes of birth, they can survive uder water for 20 minutes, as the birth fluid creates a protective shield around they're lung pipe.
Horses begin eating their first meal of colostrum within hours of birth.
Newborn foals can stand within the first few minutes of birth, so within the first hour or two they are able to walk and run.
yes you can get pregnant you doctor should of told you but the first 4 weeks of being on birth control u should use a condom for intercourse
