Answers for all your Foaling Questions
Whether it's your first foal or your 20th, it's always helpful to have an
authoritative reference by your side. This one is an excellent candidate.
An impressive but not overwhelming 320 pages guide you from late in the
gestation period to several months after the foal's birth. Concern about the 10
percent of problem deliveries is well addressed, but you'll be even more pleased
with the extensive notes on proper preparation of foaling facilities, stages of
labor/delivery and foal care. You'll have confidence in giving a foal's
first enema, watching the first vet exam and teaching your new baby its first
life lessons. The chapter on possibilities including prolonged gestation
and colostrum/low milk production are especially helpful, as are the eight case
studies covering a wide range of situations.
After reading the Complete Foaling Manual, you'll know what to
expect in the birthing process and will be able to insure a safe, successful
beginning for your newest horse.
