Nina van Mulligans Run kan van de lijst af.. veulen is geboren, maar was waarschijnlijk al dood voor de geboorte las ik op marestare's MB:
When we went out this evening to bring Nina and Cocoa in we found a sack - Nina had foaled. And again, it's a sad outcome.
The little colt was in his sack, and within the entire other bag - can't think of what it's all called....but the colt was dead, the liver thing - gosh I'm good at this - was very pale brown and the cord was very very twisted. I'm guessing this is more of an abortion than a true foaling.
I have photos for the experts and we will take the body to our vet for examination. The eyes were cloudy, and we've been told that means the foal was dead before birth.
Anyway....Nina is fine. She's in her stall resting and her cam will be off out of respect. We are watching her here in the house and we have a close eye on Cocoa.
This is not a great way to start/end a foaling season, but it is what it is and we'll hope that this is the last bad thing to happen THIS year.
