This is our little miracle baby who almost didn’t make it. She is a little spoiled and spunky now!!!!

this was in my foals poo today, 48 hours old. Any idea what it might be? Not mucousmore rubbery long stringy.

Please, what didvyou do to command her respect, ie Come to Jeses moment?

Thank you, Mama is overprotective now, wont let ys near the foal without a scary difficult reaction from her. Must give antibiotics 2 more days. I hope she doesnt escalate. Im new to this also, so I dont know the answer to that question.

Thank you Angela! She has had complications but hoping we are on the other side now.

Took her this morning and transfused successfully. She is comfortable with mama now, yes mama was upset when I took her but she is very happy now.

Update! Yesterday morning the foal fell sick. Her Respirations were over 100 at rest, flaring nostrals and posturing. She would not lay down because she was having a hard time breathing, so I called the vet immediately. They came out and said she had a infection in her lungs starting so...

Thanks for he response, Im taking her for the transfusion tomorrow morning early. The foal was having rapid resp with flaring and posturing. Would not lay down to rest. Started her on antibiotics and steroids. The mare isnt eating like she usually does, hoping its stress from baby. She wont...

My mare just foaled at 11:10 pm last night, she is having resp issues and started on antibiotics. However, she failed her igg completely. They said my chances of her surviving are small without the transfusion. Any experience here would be appreciated!

So Foal passed meconium twice and it already has a yellowish color to it so I guess she must have nursed and I missed it! So disregard!

perfect birth and foal but its bee almost 3 hors amd baby hasnt nursed. Mama wont let her under but is taking care of her otherwise. She steps aside everytime the filly tries to find her teets. Its around 38-40 degrees. Not sure if i should call the vet out to sedate her?

Yay! So ready for summer! And what a sweet photo!

Thank you!
