Abstract

A 15-year old American Saddle Horse mare, pregnant (~ 60 days) with twins, was referred. Transrectal ultrasonography revealed the presence of 1 fetus in uterine body and the other in right uterine horn. Inconvenient location (uterine body) of the fetus made it difficult to apply established techniques for twin reduction. Cranio-cervical dislocation via colpotomy was performed on the twin located in the uterine body. Heartbeat was not detected at 48 hours postprocedural transrectal ultrasonography. Remaining twin was delivered at term without complications.
