Abstract
Cesarean section in the mare may be indicated in pelvic fractures with exostosis, transverse dorsal or transverse rotated bicornual pregnancies and rupture of the prepubic tendon. In these conditions the dam may be sacrificed to save the life of the fetus, as successful cesarean sections are rare in the mare.
