Tranquilizing a broodmare to allow the foal to nurse is generally not recommended, as it can pose risks to both the mare and the foal. Tranquilizers can affect the mare's ability to care for and bond with her foal, as well as impact the foal's ability to nurse effectively. If a mare is having difficulty allowing her foal to nurse, it's better to consult a veterinarian for alternative solutions that prioritize the health and safety of both the mare and foal.
What else can I help you with?
Is it Okay to Watch the birth of a Foal?
Yes...people do it all the time with no adverse effects to the mare or foal.
Is it normal to have a Brooding mare to stop producing milk when the foal is only a couple months old and does that mean she is pregnant?
Depends, how many months. If its been six months its okay because its time to wean the foal. If its only two months then you might want to call your vet. They have a shot that makes them produce milk, it just depends on how old the foal is. And no it doesn't mean she is pregnant, she can still produce milk if she is pregnant and has a foal.
What can a foal do when it is born?
When the foal is born, for a while al he can do is lay there. After he gets settled, he will attempt to stand. Most of the time this takes several attempts. After that, he will try to take a few wobbly steps. This may take a few tries also. Then, he will find his motehr and nurse before laying back down to take another nap. Usually within a few hours to a day, he will be trotting, cantering and galloping alongside his mother. You can't do anything to help if a foal is being born. You just watch and wait and be patient. Just let the mother do her thing. If the mother looks like she is struggling keep calm and call the vet and keep her comfortable. And 1 more thing, keep an eye on the foal to make sure it's okay, if the sack doesn't break when the foal comes out of it's mother then rip it open to let the foal breath. That's about it and it'll be over in seconds.
Your mare is almost 100 percent in foal but she still hasn't developed teats she has six weeks to go is that normal?
Normally, the mares' udder will not fill up with milk until about 3 weeks before she delivers her foal. The udder will begin to swell during part of the day and go back down part of the day. Some mares will not develop milk until a day or so (or even hours) before foaling. If you have any concerns whatsoever, please call a vet. He or she may need to check to make sure both mare and foal are doing okay.
