Abstract

A dystocia is an emergency condition in the mare. The goals of dystocia management are to save the life of the foal, save the life of the mare, and to preserve future fertility of the mare. Early detection and rapid appropriate intervention are critical for foal survival. The most common cause of an equine dystocia is an abnormality of fetal posture.
