What Exactly Was The Problem?
The vet asked Ben to conduct the exam and feel the horse’s stomach. Since she was stretched out, it made it easier for him. While he felt the areas around her stomach, he noticed a bulge he hadn’t taken cognizance of before. What was this bulge and was Felicia in any danger? These were the questions he needed answers to.
The doctor didn’t tell Ben much over their call, but it looked like there was a big problem. About 80% of mares survive complications during delivery, but foals record a lower number of 35%. Ben hoped this would be one of those successes as he waited for the doctor’s arrival.
