Heavy breathing can be a sign of many things, including that she may be in labor and ready to have her foal. Heavy breathing most commonly means the horse is uncomfortable or has exercised heavily. Mares who are in labor will breathe heavily. Mares who have a foal inside them that is in an awkward position will also be uncomfortable and sometimes breathe heavily.

Your dog is breathing heavy and tongue turning dark red?
When dogs are breathing heavy it can be a sign that something is wrong. Heavy panting can be caused by heatstroke and their tongue can turn dark red, purple, or blue if they are suffering from heatstroke. The dog should be moved to a cool place and given cool water and if their temperature is over 104 degrees, you should get them to a vet.
Can a mare abort one twin and the other survives?
This leads me to the question of whether a horse can abort her offspring. Be careful how you phrase your sentences, because here your subject is "horse" and the verbs are "be" and "abort." Who is doing the aborting? If it certainly isn't the horse then you need to include the second subject. Remember your English teachers every now and then. They get paid to do their job for a reason. ****Whoever answered this question is very rude and ironically doesn't know what he or she is talking about... The term "abort" is commonly used to refer to a horse having a miscarriage. Yes, it would be the mare's body "doing" the aborting. There was nothing wrong with this question. And, yes, although very very unlikely one twin can survive.
How do you know when a horse is in heat and what are the signs?
A mare may become more tempermental when she is in heat, and possibly more agressive. Another characteristic that a mare is in heat is what is called flagging or winking. A mare may lift her tail in front of a male horse to get his attention. The most sure sign that a mare is in heat is her acceptance of being near a stallion. If a mare is in heat around a stallion she may squat and urinate showing she is ready to breed.
Why do foals clack their teeth together when another horse comes near?
This means the foal is scared of the horse that is coming near it. This is their way of saying, "please don't hurt me!" It does not neccesarily mean the foal is scared. Gum smacking or teeth clacking is a sign of submission. It's the foals way of saying, you are bigger than me and I don't want you to bite me.
How do you know your mare is in heat?
1) If she is a little moodier than usual. 2) If she is "wanting" your geldings or stallions (pushing against them) 3) If she is peeing a little bit but multiple times in a short period of time. 4) try breeding her with a stallion and if she kicks him, she isn't in heat, mares that aren't in season don't allow stallions to breed them! Hope I answered your question!
How do you buy a pregnant mare on howerse?
There will be a pink and blue sign, the symbol of male and female connected together. This means the mare is pregnant. When you see that sign, buy it and then breed the foal.
What is it called when colostrum leaks onto the nipples of the mare?
This is typically a sign that the mare will foal very soon. There is no real term for the leaking, but if enough of it leaks out the foal might not get enough and need a colostrum supplement. A mare will 'bag up' (her udders become full) about a day or possibly more before foaling also.
How do you get your horse to get a baby horse on horwse?
you have to click on the male and female gender sign, then select your stallion or mare, then wait and see if they have a foal(technical word for baby horse!)
Why isn't the foal date available for horses?
There is no date for it because until just a few weeks, maybe days, before the foal is born, the mare gives no sign of it, when your mare starts acting strange, or gives signs, or is unusually large, then you should be extra carfull to make sure all is well, if she is acting too strange, call your vet, they might come down, then you will have a date. If your mare is 1-8 days late, it is fine, if 9-12 days, CALL A VET!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Something could be seriously worng.
How long does a foal feed on its mother's milk?
A mare generally begins preparing to lactate a couple weeks before she gives birth to the foal. Swollen teats and a pale discharge from the udders is generally a sign that your pregnant mare is very close to foaling. Mares are able to provide their colts and fillies complete nutrition through their rich milk from the day the babies are born.
What happens if a horse goes past their date to foal?
the foal could be dead or there maturing more. Sometimes its a sign of twins.
When the wax falls off a mares teats will she deliver soon?
Could be. This is a sign that birth is near. But sometimes a mare will 'wax up' and the milk will start to leak out. A little is fine but if too much leaks out the mare could be loosing the "colostrum". Colostrum is the first milk that the mare produces and it contains all the immunities for the new baby to keep him healthy. If it leaks out before the foal can drink it, he won't live long. They have to have the colostrum. If you think your mare is leaking too much colostrum call your vet.

What do you do when a horse is giving birth?
You'll know that a mare is having trouble foaling if she lies down and strains hard for more than half an hour with no sign of her labour progressing. If your mare is having difficulty the most likely reason is that the foal is not presenting the right way. A vet is trained to deal with malpresentations, and it is very difficult for a layperson to fix them.If you can't afford to call a vet, I hate to be blunt but you shouldn't be keeping horses, let alone breeding them. If the vet can't come or is a long way away, you need to try to help the mare because you may lose mare and foal if you don't intervene. Tip some disinfectant in a bucket and disinfect your arm. Tie the mare's hind feet together so that she can't kick you and feel inside her vagina.If the cervix is open, try to find the foal. If you can feel a head, it's facing the wrong way. The head should be lying on the front legs, which normally stretch out along the vagina. If the front legs are folded back, the chances of the mare being able to foal are very limited. You will need to disinfect some string. Slide your hand back along the foal's leg and tie the cloth around the pastern. Leave the end of the string hanging out of the vagina, and ask somebody to pull firmly on it while you push the head back into the uterus. This pulls the legs around and after that the mare may be able to foal normally.If you can feel a tail, the foal is presenting breech. Most mares can deliver a breech foal unless it has its legs back - use the string around the pastern again, and this time push back on the hock to pull the leg around. If the foal's head is back, this is a virtually impossible presentation. You can try to pull it around, but often this won't work.The only thing you could try would be to shove the foal as far back as you can because there is more room to try to move the head in the uterus than past the cervix. If the foal is jammed or presenting sideways, shove it back as far as you can and then try to realign it so that it can come out normally. In a small mare where the foal is stuck or too large to fit through her pelvis, there is nothing you can do except a caesarean operation, which is obviously a job for the vet.If nothing has any effect and the vet is several hours away and the mare is obviously suffering, it might be a case to make the very difficult decision to put the mare down. Equine obstetrics involving head-back, stuck foal, sideways presentation or coiled breech usually require either expert handling or a caesarean operation. If you have to shoot the mare, there is a chance that you may be able to save the foal. Cut through the skin of the flank. The uterus should be the largest organ and will bulge into the cut. It would probably be possible to remove the foal.When a mare has trouble foaling, it means that something is wrong. It's a job for the vet. All of these above methods are LAST RESORT ONLY. If there is a choice between shooting the mare and trying to foal her, that's when you try something like this without expert assistance.
Is rapid breathing a closed wound?
No, rapid breathing is a sign, not a wound.
