This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Sarah, I sent my mare for breeding at a fancy establishment, where they starved her, did not treat a wire cut and she also ended up with a vaginal infection probably from the stallion. When I went to get her I did not recognize her. She could hardly stand, looked terrible, she was then four years actual age, and was down at least over 150-200 pounds. I barely made it to my vets with her as she was so weak. He examined her. Her mane and tail would just come out with a slight pull. He did a Caslicks (sp) sewing up the vagina as he said her thinness tipped her to where fecal matter could enter the vagina and also that when it is sewn shut, nature cures the infection she had and we also helped by giving her antibiotics. He did not do a preg check as in her condition she could not have conceived.
About seven months later the vet came to check a colic she was exhibiting and cut the stitches to do a rectal. A look of wonderment came over his face as he declared her pregnant, seven months at least! The result was Charley, my huge Trakehner. So, I have nothing against the stitching except on the days when Charlie is being a nerd and I am trying to give him away.
