This message is from: "dfle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes, I would wonder if the colostrom from the sheep will work. It may, I just don't know. Can you milk the mare? We have done that before. I fed my Fjord foal every two hours around the clock for at least a month and then we started increasing the milk and the time. The injection works best for the replacement of colostrum. We tried the stuff you feed the foal and the vets checked her levels 24 hours later and it didn't work. But you only have about 24 - 36 hours to do this. Then it may be too late. I saved one that was longer, but had to send it to the Vet School to do so and then she had to have all kind of antibiotic shots, etc. I had one heck of a vet bill but saved the foal. Good luck and let us know how it all turns out.
