Abstract

The present case report puts on record successful management of a mare suffering from dystocia due to
initial stages of maceration of fetus. A full-term pregnant seven-year-old mare was presented with the history
of vaginal discharges followed by mild straining without any progress. The vaginal examination revealed a fully
dilated cervix with the presence of a fetus with carpal flexion. The flexion was corrected and fetus was retracted
successfully. The mare was administered fluid, analgesic and antibiotic parentally apart from intra-uterine drug
treatment and the mare has resumed normal health.
