Thursday Team Problem

1.  Your pregnant mare is about to give birth.  She was fed fescue during the third trimester.  Describe how this will affect her, and what steps you need to take to ensure a live foal. 

Hint:  If you need to be aware of when she will give birth, you may want to look for signs.  What are those signs?  Don't just give the bare minimum answer.  Really get the root of the issue.

2.  Your mare has gone into the 1st phase of labor.  Describe the 3 phases and what must happen in each.  What kinds of difficulties may occur, and what should you do to correct them?
