has any one had a mare with it and what was the outcome

 

[Becky]

Most cases the mares have carried to term and delivered normally as long as treatment was started on the mare as soon as she showed symptoms.

Typically treatment does work which is a combination of antibiotics, antinflammatories, and progesterone supplementation. The difficulty is that the signs tend to go unnoticed and thus abortions occur.

Its quite common. Each case is different. Get her on antibiotics and Regumate asap, per your vet.

thay put my mare on sulfa b wich is a antiobitic for 5 days that was nearly 4 wks ago

she is still pregnant which is good have a nother vet coming tomorow to look at her as iam

not happy with the first vet...

she still has a bloody discharge

I've had a few here.

We put them on sulprim (oral antibiotic, twice a day - reasonably priced too) for the rest of the pregnancy, plus regumate. You can buy an injectable one that is once a week, thats what i have used the last few times, and had perfect results

Healthy mum and bub every time.

Goodluck
