Hi all, I need some advice/help. I have a mare who foaled a cute little filly. This mare is 6 yo. and her first live foal. She had a red bag last year. My problem is, this little filly if i counted right is about a month early and she has a will to live, but mom has no interest in mothering her. She dances around the stall til we hold her, and than she will let the little one eat. I put her out in the paddak and she will let the little one nurse, but not for long. Mom simply doesn't want to be a mom. I am thinking of bottle feeding her as she is not gaining any weight. Is there a milk supplement that i can get or make up to give her?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you Judi
