Yes it is possible for them to be up and moving at the beginning with things worsening as the brain swells.
With our foal it was only slightly noticeable when she attempted to nurse but in all fairness the mare did not have the greatest nipples to latch on to as this was her first......but the important thing was there was steady improvement which meant the brain was not likely swelling any more.....any decline no matter how small it was would have needed immediate attention..........foals crash hard and fast.
