Re: [RC] epiphysitis - Chris PausWhy don't you want to wean the baby. At 4 months, it really isn't getting most of its nutrition from milk anymore. How long since you've wormed the mare? How long since she's had her teeth taken care of? I'd wean the baby and check out the mare thoroughly and start giving her beet pulp mashes and lots of good hay. chris --- Sonshine575@xxxxxx wrote: Heidi, What is this? I have a mare with a 4 month old by her side. The mare is really losing weight but the baby looks great. What should I do? I don't want to wean the baby.
