Frequent nosebleeds in children. It is common for children to get nosebleeds. Most nosebleeds get better on their own and are not a cause for concern. In rare cases, a nosebleed may be a symptom of a more serious problem, such as an injury to the head.
Most mares will begin to bag up in the last month to month and a half of gestation. This means that her udder will begin to swell. Many mares will resist attempts to touch their udders or nipples, which can interfere with the foal s nursing attempts.
If you remove the foals feet from the mare, make sure to leave the foal close beside its mother. While the mare and foal rest, the umbilical cord is still attached and transferring a large, vital amount of blood from mare to foal. This five to fifteen minute rest period is crucial. After this rest period, the mare will stand and break the umbilical cord. There is very little bleeding at this point.
