I know this has been discussed on here before, but I'd like to know some specifics. For those of you that do not stop giving Regumate, are the mares' gestations longer than normal, i.e., how many days have the mares carried before deliverying? For those of you that stop giving Regumate, at what day do you stop giving the Regumate and how many days later did the mare end up foaling?
I've had one vet tell me to stop it 30 days before foaling and another say it is ok to leave her on it until she foals, and I just don't know what to do. This is a mare that aborted last year from placentitis. I'm afraid that stopping now (do you do it cold turkey or wean them off) will cause her to deliver before everything else in her body gets ready. So my feeling seems to be, why look for trouble if I know she can stay on it and still deliver normally.
Thanks for your input.
