I had this in a mare I loaned to a friend. She kept bagging and being kinda moody. Sucked in in the flanks. Turned out my friend tried to wean a colt from another mare and put him across a wire fence from my mare, who let him suck through the fence and I assume this caused a hormonal imbalance in her. She also has some ovary trouble and has before had a terrible UTI during all this trouble.


We wound up suturing her up some. because of her age, she was sort of open back there and kept getting UTIs because of that, so we sutured it, open enough that she could pee but closed enough that it stayed clean. Then, we took her away from any geldings, gave her some hormones, and she shaped right up.

I had an open mare get mastitis last year.
It can happen more than you would think according to my vet.

I would treat her just in case.
