I've never seen a red bag before. Is that cause for worry?

[wldcat59]

Yes, you should be prepared to break the bag with a tongue depressor or something fairly sharp.

what a stunning foal!!! you should post some up a week later to show us how they look running about!

[wldcat59]

Thank you! I have some videos I took of the foals their 1st day out. Some videos they are a few weeks old. I am using a camera to video so they arent the greatest. Wish I had more time to catch em doing the funny things they do everyday! Enjoy!

what a cute baby.

I have two questions..

1. What is a red bag?

2. how many foals can a mare have in her 20 years?

premature separation of the placenta prior to or during a mare's foaling.normal chorioallantois is relatively thin and breaks easily during birthing. However some placentas are thickened from infection or inflammation, a condition called "placentitis," and can result in red bag deliveries. Exposure of late pregnant mares to fescue grass can also result in a thickened placenta at foaling.

Beautiful what a huge foal too. :)

@catwoman185 Sometimes it is necessary to pull. Like with Red bag deliveries. You have to get the foal out quickly or it will die. And if the mother won't push you have to pull or else you'll lose both of them.

My favorite moment when horses give birth: when the mare turns around and nickers at her foal:) We didn't see my mare give birth, but she bled for days and days afterwards. Is it possible that maybe she had a red bag?

@skybluepainter

The red bag means that the foal isn't getting any oxygen, if you don't break the red bag and get the foal out within six minutes it will have severe brain damage or die.
