Hi everyone. This is my first venture into this forum!
For those that don't know, I have a 3 1/2 week old orphan foal to look after. We lost his mum on Thursday morning. Can anyone offer advice/opinions on what is the best milk replacer to use? We started off on Aintree, but were advised (by the vets!) it was a bit expensive. So we've now got some of the Dobson and Horrel "Equilac". But that's not cheap either at the rate Apollo get through it!
Obviously it's tough if thats' what were going to have to pay. But I wondered what others have used in the past, and which one is the best? We have started to give him a very small amount of creep pellets, and he does eat a bit of hay.
Thanks!
