I'm caring for a friend's 7 yr old mare whilst she suns herself on holiday .
Yesterday I noticed some blood splattered on her vulva and called the vet about it (as an over-the-phone query). He said it wasn't anything to worry about so long as there isn't lots and it doesn't persist.
There was no blood today , but as afew in-foal mares 'spot', I had a look at her teats.
They were fine and 'normal' looking, however I gave both a slight squeeze and milk came out .
Her character is as it is usually, she's not been doing anything to make me worry and behaviourly I can't imagine a foal's in the equation.
Background info: Mare is a WB, 7 years old. Has foaled previously, but had last foal nearly 2 years ago.
I'd like any opinions on this please.
