Hi All
I have a new filly, she is kind of early as in around 305 days and she is a "fainter". OK, so I have had fainters before, but is has been a long time and I was wondering how much interference you have given the foal - as in do you go in and wake the baby up regularly or do you pretty much leave well enough all alone.
When she is up and toodling around she seems fine - has nursed several times on her own, pooped a bunch and is playful even tho she is only a couple hours old.
But when she goes to sleep it is like she is dead - yes, I know, that is the "fainter syndrome" - but I seem to think I have to go in there and force her to wake up.
Am I overdoing it? Feel free to call.
Thank you,
Stacy
