Milk Production
My mare has colostrum but no milk. The vet was out yesterday and started her on domperidone to help the milk come in. It looked like she was developing a small bag. This morning there is no sign of a bag, but she is still producing a clear sticky substance (I believe colostrum). I haven't talked to the vet yet this morning. I was wondering if anyone had some advice.

If you have any access to a veterinarian who does accupuncture, I *highly* recommend it for increasing milk production.
One of our mares regularly foals with little or no bag, and accupuncture has always been successful with her (unfortunately it can't be done prior to foaling, as it can trigger contractions before the foal is properly positioned)
