Incontinent broodmare

[Baked Bean]

I have a mare that foaled a week ago. In the last few days she appears to have some incontinence when trotting and cantering in the field. Has anyone come across this and if so, what was the treatment and prognosis?

How many days ago did she foal, as a lot of mares and the foals can get quite bad scour in the foaling heat

My mare did this... it can also be because of how the foaling affected the urinary tract etc. If you are concerned have her checked out, but I am sure she will be fine and just needs all of her muscles to strengthen and return to normal

One of my TB's had this for a good few weeks after foaling - basically the whole area was bruised and swollen as it was her first foal - but it did sort itself out and her muscle tone came back and the swelling went down and her bladder control returned to normal.
