Dystocia and postpartum complications in the mare

Andrew McGladdery Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, RCVS Certificate in Equine Stud Medicine

DYSTOCIA is a potentially dangerous condition for both mare and foal and must be treated as one of the true emergencies faced by the equine veterinary surgeon. The aim should be to save the life of the two animals. However, the mare's life and her subsequent breeding potential often takes precedence. This article discusses the diagnosis and management of dystocia as well as various postpartum complications which may potentially arise.
