Hi all,
I have used sawdust course without problems in the distant past.
however my references from The Complete Book of Foaling says to avoid this
if at all possible. it sites the presence of klebsiella bacteria. (this is
a nasty bug for people) I had been using course planner sawdust from kiln
dried wood rather than the green sawdust from mills cutting raw lumber.
Our first is due the end of February. Last year Rosie foaled 2 weeks
early with no bag prior. I'm watching her like a hawk this year. She
started being picky about hay 3 days ago and only has some congestion on her
belly infront of her udder. that's what last year was like.
I'll be watching the emails for your delivery news.
