Re: [RC] Overdue Mare - Jan Flaningan

I am in the southeast and am aware of Fescue and pregnant mares. I feed a very high quality coastal bermuda. Thank you for the thought though.

Jan,

    You do not mention in what part of the country you are located.  If
you are located where there is a chance of your horse eating fescue
grass or hay, then you *might* want to consider talking to a vet
about all the problem associated with fescue.  one of the problems is
extended gestation periods.  Others include thickened placentas, and
lack of milk or colostrum.  There is a drug treatment available, *IF*
that is your problem.  This is quite common here in the mid-South.

thanx eric

Any suggestions would be welcome on an overdue mare. She was bred February
12th, 2007 and was due January 25th. She is acting ok, but I don't feel
the
foal move. She has a hard udder and no milk in her nipples. I bred her and
she was two weeks late but I felt movement in her mother. When does one
start worrying and call a vet? This is an Arabian mare, first foal, bred
to
an Arabian and she is 10 years old.


Thanks for any advice from the RC'ers.
Jan
