My foal now almost 4 days old
Had been drinking really well
Yesterday she had a plasma transfusion as her IGG test showed she had no antibodies
Since then she has been doing really well.
(Her mum is the really old mare with no milk just a tiny bit of clear fluid)
The foal has been suckling off her since being born and is drinking about 1100mls of milk a day.
The foal is now turning its nose up at the milk a bit it is still drinking but as much.
Will a foal let its self go hungry?
It prefers to suckle of its mum - would it maybe be getting enough there?
It is strong & perky with good sucking reflexes.
Any input would be appreciated
My email is [email protected] if anyone would rather email me of their experiences!
