I have 2 questions . Firstly when do you think is a safe time to wean. Our weanling is pulling down her mom so much shes a big girls we're just upping her grain like crazy , I have to buy another feed bucket because hers is filled to the top morning and night. The filly was born April 23rd. I hate to see my mare thin like this.. She also gets beat pulp along with her maternity grain.
Also same mare; she seems to have a popped rib? It's her back rib closest to her rear its popped out about 1/2 inch out. Very noticable she is thin right now but thats not the reason we can see it. If you push on it , it feels attatched normally and she shows no pain or reaction to it. Also im assuming it will stay like this? I just need to know if this is something a vet should be out to look at. Now about 4 days ago i noticed both her back ribs abnormally popped out more(Told it coudld be from foaling.) but now this one if sticking out far the other side is not.
Oh the stress of owning horses... OH! Its going to Kill Me
