in today's video I'm going to show you some of the things that we did with our
brand new foal in the first few hours after he was born we had a few
complications so I want to share all those things with you if you're new here

miss anything I want to start this video out by apologizing for the terrible
audio I don't know what happened it just cut in and out a few times throughout
the video so I really apologize there's nothing I can do about it I tried and
that's actually why it took me so long to get this video out to you is because
I was really hoping to find a way to make it so the audio would would work
but oh well you'll just have to fill in the blanks and kind of turn your volume
all the way up and hopefully you'll be able to hear everything that said have
our local vet to check her out or at least get in contact with a local
vet
I gotta yeah yeah not I'm not a person it's so wonderful with squishy things
but I'm just gonna tie this the best I can
she said the said that added weight
okay we're gonna let that sit for a little
now that baby has arrived there's a couple of things that I need to do so my
vet recommended how I'm gonna do that is I'm going to use a large syringe and I'm
just gonna use a teeny tiny bit of soap I'm using dr. Bronner's castle soap
definitely talk to you just what my vet happened to Rick I'm just gonna use a
little touch of soap in here and then I've got some warm water jug I'm gonna
make a mess and I'm gonna do 20 cc's
okay take my soapy water
I'm guessing this is probably the easiest way to do it it's when they're
laying down wholly out so he has had quite a few really good poops he pooped
minutes after he was born and it all looked really good that everything comes
out really well so we'll see how this who is I'm going to do iodine on his
umbilical cord I'm going to take the block Bank with a little bit of warm
water in it and he or the
I like my seat okay so he's laying down
rather than be standing to do this so I can kind of be hard to get to otherwise
I think it'll be easier be sandy
where's pool Becker's enema getting softer and softer as it comes out the
first stuff kind of like your pool okay so now I'm going to take I'm going to
take my iodine I'm trying to get this up in here while he's busy eating
try to squish it up there one more time
okay think I got that stub
it's been about a half an hour
shit must be startling her a little bit yeah
our water bottle is now touching the ground just about so that's good it
started at her hocks yep it's coming now
that you've seen all that you can tell that there is some complications
involved with the delivery of the placenta so our mayor did have what's
considered to retain placenta and it did require a vet to come and assist with
the delivery of that so but I got all of that on video and just so you know that
is gonna be the next video coming so stay tuned because you won't want to
miss that one it's really interesting we were able to dissect the entire placenta
and it was a pretty cool experience so I'm excited to share that with you so
thank you so much for watching I hope you really enjoy - see you in the next
one bye
