Abstract

Successful intervention in equine dystocia requires an adequate understanding of normal parturition and a thorough knowledge of the causes of dystocia. The clinician must first accurately diagnose contributing fetal and/or maternal abnormalities in order to properly formulate a therapeutic plan. Judgment and experience are paramount in performing obstetrical procedures so that unnecessary injury to the dam and/or fetus is avoided and the mare’s subsequent fertility is maintained.
