Equine-Reproduction.com Bulletin Board » General Mare Questions - Volume 1 » Unbred mare bagging up? « Previous Next » Author Message   Kathy Posted From: 63.111.0.150 Posted on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 11:56 am:        My 27 year old AQHA mare has one side of her bag enlarged - she has not been around any studs and has not had any opportunity to breed, also does not have a pregnant belly at all. I'm worried about mastitis if she is "bagging up," and I'm wondering about other possible explanations. Do equines get breast cancer? I did post accidentally under "endocrine" thread as well.   K. Lassell Posted From: 12.107.147.196 Posted on Friday, April 02, 2004 - 02:47 pm:        Cushing's disease can cause hormonal imbalances, sometimes causing mares' udders to develop & even produce milk. Might be worth checking into, but if it is only one side, I'd be thinking tumor (probably cold to touch) or infection/mastitis (warm & probably uncomfortable). Best of luck.
