Our maiden mare gave birth to healthy little filly a couple of hours ago. Problem free birth, baby active, mama active but, she doesn't have much of a bag. She was about a week early on the foaling and we were able to express a little bit of lightly yellowish tinged clearish liquid that is not sticky. Is this the early stage colostrum?
Is there something that can be given to the mare to make the milk come in faster? Just curious as I think I may have read that somewhere.
Again, both mama and baby are active and baby is trying to nurse. Is this one of those let nature take its course and the milk will come in soon? We do have Foal response and goats milk on hand should we need it......
Thoughts, advice, recommendations?
