marestare mare colicing. Pls can someone get her owners attention

[rebchico]

owner has brought another horse out which seems to have distressed the mare?

 

[mymare]

Maybe they're just leaving the mare to rest as she's already had painkillers. I would have thought they would have kicked in sooner.

 

[mymare]

How close to the foal is she lying?? It's hard to tell. Looks close..

 

[rebchico]

she looks to be a bit colicy again? looking at her belly a bit..

 

[china]

shes going to flatten that foal before long.

Not sure if it is, but when she turns her back to the camera she looks sweaty/white frothy between her back legs, if it is and she is sweating like that surely thats really not good.

Looked fairly close! but think foal is panned out now think they are both just shattered.
At least we know there's a vet on hand and the owners are keeping a watchful eye. There seems to be plenty of people around too, so fingers crossed she is just a little bit sore and doesn't want to be pestered right now. Hopefully she will buck up

Foal resting but mother very distressed and spinning around half wanting to roll. I know nothing about foaling but thing look far from right. I hope the mare and foal all settle down.

I'm an experience professional in my job, doesn't mean that occasionally I don't make a mistake.

Particularly if copeing alone like this poor lady is! She is obviously fond of the mare and as an owner its very hard to see them in distress like that, particularly if you just lost one not long before as well. With horses they can die so, so quickly though. I always err on the side of caution.

Wish they would get a vet just to be sure she is ok.

 

[MissMistletoe]

This is unbearable, maybe the vet is on it's way?

Well I've been watching for 90 mins now and I'm going to switch off. That mare is very uncomfortable, for whatever reason, and I don't want to watch anymore. Just hope that she settles, manages to get some rest and makes a good recovery.
I have enough stress to deal with when mine foal down. Asides from all the other drama, I consider the foaling box far too narrow for my liking but that's just my opinion.

Mare still seems very disinterested in the foal, think she is so tied up with her own pain her "foal proudness" hasn't kicked in at all.

 

[moody_mare]

is foaly cast ?

 

[mymare]

The foal's cast!!

What's happening with the foal? Is anyone in there to help?

 

[3~2~1]

yes they are in there holding mare so foal can have a drink

 

[michelleice]

foals suckling and mares standing still for it

 

[B_2_B]

Yep she got the foal up straight away, foal had a drink, and mare is eating.
Or she had her nose in her bucket anyway, not any more

Someone is holding the mare. She's stood quiet now. The foal is suckling.

 

[MileAMinute]

Pleased she's finally taken that tail bandage off!

 

[mymare]

Foal getting some TLC from owner

 

[3Beasties]

Pleased she's finally taken that tail bandage off!

I was wondering if that was adding to her discomfort as it had been on for so long!

 

[michelleice]

foals suckling by its self now (owner watching nt holding) so hopefully shes on mend

 

[3Beasties]

She is looking much more settled thankfully!

Bloody hell, so many experts ay.

 

[mymare]

Bloody hell, so many experts ay.

No, just discussing.

 

[3~2~1]

Bloody hell, so many experts ay.

I don't think anyone is professing to be experts, just watching and commenting on a mare that is clearly distressed, that doesn't take an expert to see.
