Just When You Thought Things Were Good

Postby 20dourmdd » Wed Apr 04, 2007 5:28 pm

First time for everything!

Since the last time on the message board...when the two new foals were doing just fine...the sky fell down...the first foal develops colic due to mama being a milking machine...the second foal looks good, but emmune hemiglobin is too low...plasma has to be given. Vet has been to the farm six straight days, sometimes twice in the same day to check the foals.

The vet bills are going to be astronomical...more than the babies and mares are worth.

I am beginning to think hard and often about breeding anymore mares.
