What would cause a mare to start showing signs of slipping her pregnancy always around day 60? Last year she did slip and now this year it looks like shes headed that way again!! She is stretching out and laying down kind of half trying to roll, or just laying down looking painfull. Two different vets are saying the fetus looks perfectly normal and this is a different stallion from last year. She has now had USs(6 of them between the two short pregnancys), x-rays, endoscope, oiling and lots of ulcer meds just in case. Both times she was started on regumate as soon as she was showing signs of slipping. She has had 2 foals before although I did find out that she never did very good at producing milk (I figured domperidone on hand was a must when I found that out). This is my number one favorite mare that I bought specifically for her bloodlines and the fact that I LOVE her looks, and am really hoping to figure out what is going on and how can I help her produce a healthy foal? BTW she is only 6 years old. any suggestions?? Ideas???
And yes the 2nd vet was refered by first vet when she was at a loss as to what to do. The story is actually much much longer just trying to shorten it as much as possible
