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.
Again, the owner may need to grasp the foal s feet and pull gently down toward the mare s hooves to rotate the foal s pelvis so it can pass through the birth canal. Whether normal or breech, after the foal s birth, the next steps are the delivery of the placenta and the foal s first attempts to nurse. Your first glimpse of the placenta will be a large mass of red and white tissue protruding from the mare s vulva.
