I am posting this out of pure interest and curriosity to see if it is a common occurrence or very rare....
On the 30th April 2009 my mare gave birth to a colt. For the first few months you could easily call him an ugly duckling, but come 5 months he was a stunning young man. He was weaned at 6 months and unfortunately I then had to sell him. He went to a very experienced and lovely home.
A few weeks before he turned two he was castrated; there were complications and they could not get his blood to clot
After expert veterinary care and blood transfusions through the night he sadly slipped away
Is this very rare or quite a common, yet devastating occurrence?
Also in NL
