A Dummy Foal Was Born

HollyB went into labor on March 22nd early in the morning. This video started about 5 minutes after her water broke. We saw the foal had a leg hung up early on (one leg was back and unable to pass through the birth canal on its own). We stepped in to help her out, we tried not to break the sac initially but as HollyB made no further progress and we couldn't get a grip on the foal we had to make the call to break the sac and start pulling. Unfortunately, HollyB stands up and "sucks" the foal back in, causing an aspiration of fluid. This was our main concern after the foal was born as obviously fluid was draining out of the right nostril. The foal was slow to come around, and we assumed it was due to the birth. Later on, we realized we had a "Dummy Foal". Neonatal maladjustment syndrome (NMS) – also referred to as dummy foal syndrome or neonatal encephalopathy – is a condition that causes neurological symptoms in foals. This condition prevents the foal from performing normal behaviours, such as recognizing and feeding from the mare, standing and walking. Affected foals may appear lethargic, depressed, or display more serious clinical signs. You'll be able to see in the video that the filly displays many of the common traits of a Dummy Foal. Seizures Tremors (shaking) in head and neck Weakness or lethargy Blindness Staggering Legs splayed; difficulty standing Stiff legs Disinterest in the mare or lack of recognition of the mare Loss of suck reflex Walking into things (due to blindness or lack of awareness) Recumbency Flailing legs while recumbent Restlessness or over-excitement Intermittent coma Jaw champing or grinding teeth Excessive saliva Excessive licking Tongue protruding out of mouth Abnormal breathing or gasping for air Vocalizations that sound like barking (often due to broken ribs) Sweating Constant ear flicking Constant blinking NMS can be caused by oxygen and nutrient deprivation in the foal before birth. It may also be caused by a failure of placental hormones to drop following birth. NMS affects approximately 1-5% of foals and out of 68 foals - this was our first true experience with it. Although dummy foal syndrome is alarming to horse owners, the prognosis is generally good so long as the foal does not have any other health complications. We will post more videos of the foals progress. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Join this channel to get access to perks:    / @meadowbrookstables   Our Website: http://www.meadowbrookstables.ca Our Facebook:   / meadowbrookstables   Our Instagram:   / meadow_brook_stables   –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– #meadowbrookstables #mbspaints #mbsquarterhorses Disclaimer/Release of Liability: Use of the information contained in the videos on this website is at your own risk.
