I have a friend whose mare had her first foal 6 weeks ago and everything was going fine and than she developed mastitis. The vet told her to take the foal off of and bottle feed her. They did that and the mare is getting antibotics. The foal had diarrhea and last night he didn't make it. The vet was there the whole time and gave him IV with no luck.
They are extremely sad and so is the mare.
Her questions are these:
Should she breed her again?
Will this happen again?
Does mastitis happen continually on mares who have had it before?
Her milk has chunks in it.
Thanks Carlene
