Re: foals sweating
This message is from: Jean Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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. Well, It will be 85 degrees here today, definitly too hot for me...the weatherman on the Today show mentioned Fairbanks this morning..forecast 85 in Fairbanks, when New York was only to be in the 50's. Trouble is we'll be right into fire season with this hot weather, after a late breakup. Leaves popped out over the weekend. Spring lasts for about 2 days herethen right into summer. Poor Fjords haven't lost all of their winter coat either. (just to make this Fjord related!) Jean in Sunny and hot (to us) Fairbanks, Alaska 82 degrees and the hottest part of the day hours away! 19 hours, 20 minutes sunlight! Jean Ernest Fairbanks, Alaska mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: foals sweating
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.
