Strange mass attached to placenta Equine-Reproduction.com Bulletin Board » Foaling and Immediate Post-foaling Issues » Strange mass attached to placenta « Previous Next » Author Message   Christine Dawley Neonate Username: Mommawolf99 Post Number: 1 Registered: 05-2007 Posted on Tuesday, May 08, 2007 - 05:46 pm:        I have an 8 year old Arabian mare that foaled a healthy colt this morning. I found something very strange attached to the afterbirth by a thin thread or vein if you will. It is round and hard like cartalidge or bone. Could this have been meant to be a twin or does anyone know what it is?I have a photo I can send to anyone interested.   Christine Dawley Neonate Username: Mommawolf99 Post Number: 2 Registered: 05-2007 Posted on Tuesday, May 08, 2007 - 06:13 pm:        Here is the mom and baby and the photo of the "thing" http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z183/mommawolf99/th_P1010211.jpg[/IMG][/URL] http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z183/mommawolf99/th_P1010215.jpg[/IMG][/URL]   Jos Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 1292 Registered: 10-1999 Posted on Wednesday, May 09, 2007 - 06:45 pm:        It's definitely not the remains of a twin, although many people think it is when they see it. It is in fact the remnant of the yolk sac.
