Finding Out The Problem
The vet began to perform the ultrasound and was not too pleased with what they saw. Ben noticed the concerned look but didn’t ask what the problem was right away. There could be many reasons for concern when it comes to a mare about to deliver. One such is malpresentation, which means the foal is not positioned properly for delivery.
Not correcting this ahead of time before delivery could result in severe tearing of the crevices of the mare. The doctor had to act quickly and told Ben they needed to make an urgent call. Who they called would surely surprise Ben.
