marestare mare colicing. Pls can someone get her owners attention

Right ok ,I am now preapred to take back my previous all seems ok, as it did when I first went on. If that foal has not had that precious first milk, why not, I have cows and if the calf wont take coloustrom, within an hour then we tube feed it, does this not happen with horses?

Where in the world is this stud? just interested, as the time clock is not in this country!!!
hope all goes ok, poor mare is clearly very tired
 
actually she's been down pretty much since she foaled. She has got up to feed the foal occasionally but has been pretty distressed and has laid back down as soon as she can.
 
she did have a difficult birth this morn so she may well be exhausted but now she is up time will tell. poor mare.
 
Ive been watching for just over 40 mins and she been down most of the time. only got up when the girl came in but she was really unhappy.. She is up again now to littlun is getting something to eat..
 
If any of you are mothers you will know that it is actually pretty uncomfortable when your uterus shrinks back into place - very bad period pains and cramping can happen.

I would expect this is what the mare is experiencing.

She passed her placenta ages ago - actually at the same time as the foal eventually got dragged to his feet by the owner as she was being a bit slow to get up.

I believe it is not that unusual for a mare to behave like this.

Mare has just has a lovely drink, and foal is looking at her like, 'e where are you going, what abut me?'

She better get used to that, kids are soo selfish LOL

I hope all goes well, it certanly has all changed in the last half hour.

I guess this is the reality of birth, not one is the same
 
Im not expert either but i have been waching and now the mare and foal are running around the stable and the mare def looks like she is colicing and the foal is getting quite het up. Its trying to feed and mare is kicking about and is up and down.
 
looks ok now. It seems she had a shot from the other board? maybe that's kicked in.

She still looks a bit uncomfortable but she's letting little 'un feed ok
 
i appreciate it can be uncomfy for mares after birth but i have never seen one this bad. she needs a vet seeing to her.
 
Our mares that do this after foaling get a shot of prostaglandin and buscopan. It is very distressing to see a mare lying flat out in pain and a foal trying to suckle its mum like that. Even with a difficult birth a mare should be on her feet and first concern her foal. If she is not bothering with her babe then she needs to see a vet. Did anyone watching when she passed the placenta see if they checked it to make sure it was in one piece.? Could be a bit of retained placenta.

Fanali is exhausted! She has had a full dose of banamine, and I have spoken with the vet (who is watching the cam) and he said that as long as she is not rolling and thrashing that I should let her rest. She was in labor for a very long time and is pretty tired! The wind is kicking up here and I hope to finish getting that barn cleaned up and everything closed up again here shortly. I believe that all will be fine, and I appreciate your watching with me, but rest assured, I AM watching and making sure that the filly is getting plenty to eat!

She was in the stable when it passed, but didn't see her checking anything unless I missed that x
ETA, I thought she would be watching - it seems they're very experienced and I doubt they'd let anything like this go amiss
