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.
What else can I help you with?
When a mare is waxing about ready to foal what color is the wax?
The wax that may be seen on a mare's teats before foaling is typically white or yellowish in color. This wax is a sign that the mare's body is preparing for birth by secreting colostrum, which is essential for the newborn foal's immune system. If you notice waxing on a mare, it may indicate that she will foal soon.
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.
How soon does a mares udder drop?
Well usally in the last couple months. Maidens some times wont get a full udder till after they have had a foal, and there udders are slower to devolope. But mares that have foaled also sometimes do the same thing. So it can be a week, a couple hours or months. But the milk will change colors if u can get any so when it changes to a white milky color, u should get a foal soon. but sometime u still have to wait. but it all depends, no mare does the same things, i have a pregnant mare that i think is pregnant, no bag, small stomach. and she also is a maiden. all horses are tricky though. email me some photos of her udders if u will at ericajo40@yahoo.com
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.

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.

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.
Is producing milk a sign of pregnancy in a mare?
yes!

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.
