Re: [RC] Overdue Mare - Eric RueterJan,
You do not mention in what part of the country you are located. If
you are located where there is a chance of your horse eating fescue
grass or hay, then you *might* want to consider talking to a vet
about all the problem associated with fescue. one of the problems is
extended gestation periods. Others include thickened placentas, and
lack of milk or colostrum. There is a drug treatment available, *IF*
that is your problem. This is quite common here in the mid-South.
thanx eric

Any suggestions would be welcome on an overdue mare. She was bred February 12th, 2007 and was due January 25th. She is acting ok, but I don't feel the foal move. She has a hard udder and no milk in her nipples. I bred her and she was two weeks late but I felt movement in her mother. When does one start worrying and call a vet? This is an Arabian mare, first foal, bred to an Arabian and she is 10 years old. Thanks for any advice from the RC'ers.
