This message is from: Nancy Newport <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Thanks Jean for your comment about your foal sweating at a few days old. I have been collecting all kinds of information on this and it seems to vary widely between foals being able to sweat at birth to foals can take up to 6 weeks or more to begin to sweat. The best info I've gotton for my problem is that it can take some time and meanwhile if you're having a heat wave you need to cool them off.
Since I am in the south I would appreciate anyone's experience on foals and heat regulation and I will pass on what I find out to the list. I currently have a recent vet school graduate friend doing some more research for me. I especially would like to know if there have been any studies done in a controlled environment - so far I haven't come across any, but then I really don't know where to look. By the way, Jean it was warmer in Alaska on one day last week than in Florida - the weather guy got a kick out of that. It's beautiful today, but back to the 90's next week I hear. Thanks, Nancy Newport
