This message is from: "dfle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I know some of you have had experience with bottle feeding a foal. I had a foal born on December 9 quite unexpectedly in an ice storm (another mare didn't read those books). Not expecting this foal until March, the mare was in a fescue pasture. No milk. We have been bottlefeeding the foal and giving the mare a new product to induce milk production. She is giving some milk, but I am afraid to stop feeding the foal. I feed her every two-three hours. I am going to try to start supplementing her with some foal lac pellets. How long do I need to do this? Is she just spoiled now because mom does have some milk, but her udder looks quite small. She is now 10 days old and I don't want to give up on her now since she is doing quite well. She drinks 1 1/3 cups easily every time I feed her.
