Confirming the Pregnancy
The wait was finally over, and Ben finally got what he had hoped for all these years. To confirm the news, Ben called the vet after a week of being initially told of Felicia’s gestation. The doctor conducted an ultrasound and confirmed it, verifying that both mother and child were doing well.
The use of ultrasound for animals was first done in 1956. It works almost like the one used on people and has greatly impacted animal medicine. Horses have their ultrasounds taken while they are standing, as it makes it easier. Though the ultrasound showed things were okay, Felicia’s condition soon rapidly declined.
