we lost what would have been our first 'home grown' foal. madien mare age 4- was with her for 2 days and went into the house for less than 5 minutes------look out window on my way back out to the field to be with her and see her down..went running out and found the baby in the sack not torn- I break the sack and do mouth to sount- nothing. we have moved here not long ago and had to setup with a new vet-my old one will not come out this far,I call the new vet and kepp getting put off by the recptionist......no- hurry- the baby is dead-is what she says----------I get mad call my old vet and load up the mare and the baby and sack. He said that she 'slipped' the foal......it was 5 weeks early......mare doning fine now.....
