I will try to keep this brief.
In 2007 we tried to breed from my cob mare. She was going to be AI'd. The vet said she had fluid in the uterus which he was trying to remove. I can't remember what the injection he was using was called I think it began with O.
For various reasons we then send my mare to the stud for their vet to do. They found the same problem with the fluid. I think they tried flushing her out.
We gave up for that year and got another vet (highly recommended) to look at my mare at the start of 2008 and her opinion was my mare wasn't worth the money it would take to get rid of this fluid.
None of the vets could tell us what was causing this fluid.
Since then my mare has always squirted fluid. She is worse when in season. The vet said this was her natural way of trying to get rid of the fluid.
Recently she has been squirting huge abouts of fluid. Last month after hunting she squirted about half a bucket of fluid out. I assumed that was because of the excitement of the day.
But everyday we are finding more puddles of it in the field and she squirted a decent amount when she was eating her food this evening (she is in season now).
Her general fitness has dropped, I haven't been able to do much work with her but she is very hard to keep fit. The vet did say this could be because of this fluid.
Has anyone ever heard of this type of thing before?
I will talk to the vet next week and see what they think.
