How many mls of colostrum does a foal have to be fed if the dam has none?
I'm really getting concerned that Dinah is going to foal with no milk. She's at 324 today and has a miniscule bag......almost NOTHING! She carried 313 last time and has been "bagging up" if you can call it that for over 3 weeks now. She is 18 and with each foal has had a smaller and smaller bag.
I had planned to retire her from breeding, but she has a FIT over the other mare's foals and will steal them if she thinks she can. She loves having a baby of her own.
Any help appreciated
