Maiden Mare - Minor Dystocia, Attended Foaling - Horse SIde Vet Guide

This maiden mare was having difficulty foaling. She was in 2nd stage labor longer than she should have been (about 30 minutes), so I gave her a little help. She probably would have foaled on her own but I felt like it was time for me to step in. And yes I caught the foal before she hit the ground! Both mare and filly are doing great today. I created the Horse Side Vet Guide Smartphone app to help you know what to do when you are faced with situations like this and don't have a vet there to help you. - Dr. Doug Thal DVM DABVP Horse Side Vet Guide - Equine Health Resource - $5 Mobile App (iTunes & Google Play) & Free Website www.horsesidevetguide.com
