Yes, a C-section can be performed on a mare if necessary, typically in cases of dystocia or when the foal is in distress and cannot be delivered vaginally. The procedure, known as a cesarean section, is more complex in horses than in some other animals due to their anatomy and the size of the foal. It requires skilled veterinary intervention and is usually performed under general anesthesia. Success depends on the timing of the surgery and the overall health of the mare and foal.
it was once said that Julius Caesar was born by c-section. But other research says it was performed on January 14, 1794
A cesarean section on a horse, or "c-section," is a complex surgical procedure typically performed by a veterinarian when a foal is in distress or cannot be delivered naturally. The procedure involves sedating the mare, administering local anesthesia, and making a careful incision in the abdominal wall to access the uterus. The vet then extracts the foal, assesses its condition, and sutures the uterus and abdominal wall back together. This surgery requires specialized skills and is usually performed in emergency situations.
Cesarean sections (also called C-sections) are performed by Obstetricians, mostly. There are some Family practitioners who were trained in the past who may still perform deliveries and C-sections, but the vast majority are performed by Obstetricians.
She can be overdue by a month and the foal and mare still live but she will need a c-section or her foal will damage her reproductive tract. Dr Schneider
No, you do not have to be fully dilated to have a cesarean section (c-section). C-sections can be performed for various reasons, including the baby being in a breech position, fetal distress, or labor not progressing, regardless of the dilation stage. The decision for a c-section is based on the health and safety of both the mother and the baby.

When I had my babies, they let me have one person in the operating room when they did my c-section. It's not like a vaginal delivery, which takes place in a birthing room. A C-section is a surgery and is performed in a sterile operating room, which is why they can't let several people in.

C-sections are performed when there are complications during the process of labor that can pose a danger to the mother and/or child. They can even be requested
C-sections are scheduled to be done before labor begins. Contractions can cause many complications in a cesarean delivery. If labor is stalled and an emergency c-section is required, the dilation is not relevant.
Yes.
