I need advice on how to get this 10 day old filly to suck a bottle. It's been a long time since I bottle fed anything but never a foal. Do they take to it pretty much like a calf and goat, where once they figure out that it is food they will take to it.
I have all I need for the foal and have ended up tube feeding the baby the first feeding to help it along.
What have you tried that worked to help the baby start on the bottle.
Thanks in advance for any help you can send my way.
It is hard doing this on my own with my husband in Iraq and help is few and far between so any advice on doing it with out help from a extra person is a plus.
This is going to drive me to drink.
