Thank you for your comment. Yes there is no problem with undemanding a warm blood with a ‘cold blood’s’ semen. Provided as you say the sizes of the mare and stallion are compatible.
So ive always been curious. Is it viable to AI a warmblood mare with semen from a coldblood stallion? Granted the mare isnt too small, of course. Ive always wanted a draft horse but there is virtually not a single breeder in my area, so frozen semen is our only choice
Thank you very much for your comment and I’m sorry you are having difficulties. Regrettably we can not give any advice. Please contact your own veterinary surgeon to discuss this. Good luck.

Hi my horse has warty sarcoids. I have just ignored them and monitor them. This year he has a fly rug but I feel he is developing others under his belly neat his sheath. Im thinking of getting my vet out but he suggested biopsy... what are your thoughts on that? Thank you
A biopsy would be warranted if your vet is not sure that the lesions are sarcoids. However it must be borne in mind that the act of taking a biopsy can lead to further development of that lesion. It is generally advised that if a biopsy is to be taken then the biopsy should be excisional - in other words the entire lesion is removed and not just a part.
I had a grey covered in every kind. The vet told me to put him down. I put him on an immunity booster. Turned him away for six months (no stress) fed well. Vet tied off two. Every sarcoid vanished in a week. Never came back. He was 5 and lived another 23 years
Thank you for your question! The success rates will vary between individual mares and semen plus the operator but roughly speaking the success rates are: 1. Natural: 60% 2. Fresh chilled: 60% 3. Frozen: 50%
Thank you so much for this interesting video.i have a question about flushing of the uterus after insemination is that after fresh and frozen semen using? time of flushing after insemination? Dose of saline and antibiotic ? Thank you again
Thank you for watching and taking the time to ask a question. We do not routinely wash out mares at this practice but you will find that some stud vets do advocate this. Here we determine on a case by case basis which mares should be washed out. I can not go into details on a public forum and you should always seek the advice of your own veterinary surgeon. but we wash out both fresh and frozen inseminations. You are normally safe to perform washing out up to 96 hours post insemination. After this you will risk preventing any embryo successfully adhering to the uterine wall.
You mentioned homeopathy. I assume you mean traditional herbal remedies rather than treating with water, or 99.9999% water. Homeopathy relies on the idea that like cures like (so if someone was poisoned with arsenic the cure would be more arsenic), that water has a 'memory' of what was dissolved in it and the more you dilute something the more potent it becomes (if you dilute to the point where you're simply dealing with pure distilled water, this is seen as the most potent) so long as you bounce the dilution flask on a leather book or other slightly elastic surface. Herbal treatments on the other hand use herbal remedies in full concentration (or dilute because a full concentration would be dangerous, not because it would be more potent) with no 'like cures like' or 'the more dilute it is, the stronger it is' both of which have no place in medicine, whereas herbal treatments have actual scientific and medical backing.
Thank you very much for your comment. Although I am a 'conventional' medicine veterinary surgeon there are times when conventional medicine 'fails' and the sarcoids do not respond. In these circumstances I always advise the client that the 'non-conventional' branch of veterinary care may be able to help and I offer a referral to another veterinary surgeon (I myself do not offer any of the 'non-conventional' treatments and would only refer to a fully qualified veterinary surgeon). This includes herbal and homeopathic treatments. I may not understand why these treatments work, nor do they have the expected scientific evidence supporting them (particularly homeopathy), but I have experienced some cases (certainly not all) that have responded positively. For me provided we have fully explored and explained all options available the only thing that really matters is that the horse's welfare is never compromised. I do not think that conventional and non-conventional veterinary care should be entirely separate and neither should exclude the other when coming up with a treatment plan.
@@denisewineberg3371 depends on the horse. If the horse gets rain rot frequently and has sarcoid I do internal to boost immune system and get rid of fungus. If it's a horse that's otherwise normal, I just get rid of sarcoid with cream. Horses like that I've never had one come back.
my poor boy had a small skin tag size and shape growth removed from just in front of the urethra. It is cancer we are going to do Cisplatin injections locally in the are where the growth was removed. From what I understand as it was caught very early there is a chance it would eradicate the cancer? meaning be the end of treatment? I wonder how you can tell if it worked though? we plan to do 3 injections 2 weeks apart. Would be very interested in your thoughts on this, I am in the USA. A partial removal has also been suggested as a way to be sure but that seems extreme to me at this point.
Oh my goodness I am so thrilled to have come across someone using the spacer. I have used those in the past for my children and my horse has recently presented with "heaves" and as we try to come up with a treatment plan the idea of the nebuliser was tossed around but I would really rather avoid that expense!
Goodmorning. My name is Marta and I am a veterinary student in Italy. I have a project called "equiformando", got a blog and instagram page. I ask you if I can use clips of this video to make a post about equine RAO. Of course, I will give you all the credits you need. Thank you, Marta
Good day. As you said worming should be done few days prior or after foaling with ivermectin type of products does that means no routine worming should be done throughout pregnancy? If routine worming should be done than what kind of product one should choose for pregnant mares? Thanks
