I am sure this has been posted before, But for the life of me I cant find it! but what I was wondering is what do you have in your foaling kit?

Thanks,

Gage
 
Gage,

Everyone has a slightly different foaling kit, I think. You might check the "foaling tips" thread under the Best of Little Beginnings topic heading that MaryLou has listed.

I have my own list saved in a Word Perfect file that I will cut and paste below in just a couple of minutes. It was originally written up to accompany some instructions for a family member that was helping us "foal watch" a few years ago, so I think it refers a little to those instructions.

• Iodine/Betadine or Nolvasan in a small squirt bottle

• Thermometer

• 60cc syringe with end cut off and inverted for milking mare
