Hi,
hoping that some of you breeding peeps can help me. Fany is an ex-broodmare; she had 4 live foals. She has been with us for 2 years. We bought her just after she had lost a foal. Just after we got her a mare on our yard had a foal and Fany got very broody and seem to bag up, ending up with mastitis. We assumed it was because she had lost her foal.
2 years on and 2 mares have foaled on our yard and she has bagged up again. So is it a co-incidence or is she reacting to the foals? Just to add she is no longer over weight she has been checked a couple of weeks ago by the vet and he says she is fine, she is on sparse grass during day and a token handful of hay at night to ensure she stays that way.
ETA- she has no discharge and is not in, nor has she been in, season this year yet
So any ideas? Anyway to help her ?
Thanks for reading,
