how do they check the placenta is all there, do they spread it out and see that it is all there?

[/ QUOTE ]
yeah. hopefully it will all come out. you can see it hanging between her legs. if it doesnt all come out then its a vet job. hopefully she wont have any problems

 

[Ravenwood]

What was that they were examining?

 

[dozzie]

I was like....NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! It cant be happening!

Then I clicked on something in panic and my screen went black!

Hey ho! All's well that end's well as they say.

Kossette does look a bit ribby now. Is that what you would expect? Is it just because she has just foaled? Or has she not maintained as much weight as you would like Rollestone? Or is it as you would want?

It is fascinating to watch for someone who has never bred a foal!

Thank You Rollestone!
I have been logging on at home, and at school! Totally addicted!
I have never seen a foal being born before, even though due to the hitches I missed the actual birth, I saw most of the birth!

THANKS ROLLESTONE!

I think they all look a bit ribby straight after, goes after like a week I think though. With some good grub of course!

[ForeverBroke_]

they picked something up off the floor near to where the foal was born, quite small in shape and looked floppy haha xD

 

[3Beasties]

Is it usual for a foal to take this long to stand?

One found something in the straw, around the place that the foalie was born, looked sort of dark and shiny about the size of her hand, a bit triangular in shape??

 

[china]

might be something to do with her placenta that is hanging down between her back legs i missed it. i was typing on here lol

 

[Ellies_mum2]

Was that part of the placenta they were looking at?

Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of this tonight Rollestone. Those of us who appreciate being able to witness a birth far outnumber the idiots who presume to tell you how to do your job.

Hope your daughter is feeling better now?

 

[ivenoidea]

Foals first droppings? (I don't have a clue)

 

[Dizzykizzy]

Is it the Hippomane?

 

[Toast]

I think they say anywhere up to an hour after birth is normal

She was tying up the afterbirth so that she doesn't stand on it

SHES UP!

[MurphysMinder]

Didn't see, but could it have been the protective covering from the foals hoof?
Yeh baby's up

 

[longtalltilly]

I cant believe i missed it!!! I am GUTTED

 

[minerva]

standing - yayyyy, love those long legs of foalies

 

[missshell]

Shes up!!!

 

[Ravenwood]

I don't think so - it was quite meaty and looked like a piece of liver.

 

[dozzie]

LOL! The dog has come to watch now!
