Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Equine Reproduction

Background:

  • Dystocia, or difficult birth, is a critical concern in equine reproduction.
  • Fetal malposition is a common cause of dystocia, potentially leading to severe maternal complications.

Observation:

  • A Grevy zebra mare experienced complete uterine prolapse and uterine wall rupture secondary to fetal malposition.
  • The condition presented a significant risk of mortality without prompt intervention.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention involving suturing of the uterus and repositioning was performed.
  • Vaginal obstruction was utilized as an adjunctive measure post-repositioning.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates the successful management of severe uterine prolapse and rupture in a Grevy zebra.
  • The described treatment approach offers a viable protocol for similar obstetric emergencies in endangered equids.
