A BIG *TEARFUL*THANK YOU TO THIS FORUM

[Miniv]

Congratulations on your adorable TINY buckskin pinto colt!!!!

My friend, Amy, and I are both reading about your experience and relating to it. Both of us were wondering about how quickly the foal's cord was cut........ That is always a concern because of the exposure to bacteria with the placenta and cord exposed to the elements while still connected.

Thanks!!!!! As soon as I moved him and momma back to the foaling stall I didn't cut it, but I held by his belly and then pulled it, so it would break more naturally and then I put iodine on it, so I would say within 5 minutes of him being born. He is for sure a cutie, and a real spitfire already.....mom is getting more and more protective over her little man......I am just so happy I was home and able to help him into this world...

Congratulations! I've been there twice now, and if it wasn't for the Forum, I wouldn't have known what to do either.

Michele, I wanted to congratulate you on your new baby.

I am just devastated about Rainey and her baby. I can't quit crying. I think I should stop breeding cause bad things seem to happen to me. :no: :no: :no: :no: :no:

Please continue to pray for her. Sheila

It is posts like this that remind me why we are here- even when we are bickering and whingeing!!!

I have survived about five red bags now- long before I even knew what they were I was dealing with them as they came- one of my mares does this routinely and I lost her fist foal because of it and her second at a year- Yes he lasted that long and seemed normal but there was oxygen deprivation and neurological damage.

Don't worry about this with your colt- although my colt was "normal" in that he could nurse and survive there were LOADS of indicators that all was not as it should be.

Congratulations on the both the foal and keeping your wits and you head level at a VERY stressful time.

The Forum cam give all the advice in the world but, without people sensible enough to implement it, advice is useless.

Well done, you!!!
